This is the recurring theme of the last few days. This must be about the age that kids’ imaginations really start to go wild. I guess it is a good sign that we are hearing lots of stuff about him being scared of monsters in the potty. At least his imagination is working. ;-)
I have seen a LOT more pretend play in Aidan lately. Last week his Fisher Price Little People farmer was milking the cow and combing the sheep’s hair. So I carried the idea onto the other farm animals. We had the farmer ride the horse and went up to get eggs from the rooster (yes…I know roosters don’t lay eggs, but he is only 2 1/2…cut the boy a break!). Then we got to the pig. I paused and chuckled to myself. What to tell him about the pig? So we did half the story…the farmer fed the pig. He doesn’t need all the details quite yet! 
He is also showing every possible sign of potty training readiness except lack of fear. He has had very verbose expressions of fear about the potty over the last 2 weeks so we are just backing off and letting him decide. Last night he came running out of his bedroom crying and telling us of his bad dream about the monsters in the potty. He declared, “I scared of the potty. Monsters in the potty.”
Awww…poor little man. Time for some snuggles on Daddy. He will keep you safe, bub.
Wow Aidan is doing amazing. I’m floored at the words he puts together and that he knows about monsters in the potty! and he sleeps in his own room, Kellar is still in our room and half the night in our bed.
