Toddler Fears
For a few months now, when it is time to go to bed, you would say, "Mummy, I'm scared". When I ask you what you are afraid of, you would say, "I'm scared of Alligator", which is strange because I try never to put anything in a spooky light, not even during Halloween or anything like that. And when I ask you where the alligator is, you would point to the floor.
We've tried several ways to allay your fears. The bedside lamp is left on dim, there's a nightlight that projects the moon and stars on the ceiling, and you are surrounded with your toys.. "All of them". :)
And, of course, lots and lots of hugs and snuggles :)

Technology
We have agreed that although technology is fine and dandy and help us out a whole bunch, when little boys have free reign of their parents' smart phones and tablets, things can get a little out of hand. Especially when little boys refuse to let go of the phones and tablets without a whole lot of hue and cry.
We still let you have some time with some apps ( all carefully toddlerized with Zoodles ), like when we are over at Grandad's in the mornings.
ANYWAY, I let you use it for a few minutes the other day when I finally gave you a haircut. :) You were so engrossed you hardly made a peep, when all other times you would have just moved and wiggled and totally made it as difficult as you could.
