Fee Fi Fo Monsters

I did my online shopping last night, perusing the internet for free shipping sites.

I found a great dollhouse for Sofia at www.dollhousesgalore.com - Great price, no tax or shipping and I found a promo code for $ off. I found some dollhouse furniture at etoys.com, also no shipping or tax. And at Baby Age, I found the boy's push buggies I'd been wanting for a good price, no tax but only $7 shipping.

Sofia is starting to have nightmares. She had one last night that brought her into our room at 2 a.m. I can't get a lick of sleep when she's in my bed, so I dragged her mattress into our room and plopped it on the floor. She was quite scared, so I didn't mind doing it. It took her a long time to fall asleep and she got very anxious if I turned away from her.

This morning she talked of the "scratchy monster" who made her sit on his lap and he was under her pillow. We went in her room this a.m. and lifted up her pillow to make sure it was gone. I could tell she was really having a hard time determining the difference between what was real and what was a dream. I imagine that would be scary if your dream was, in your mind, reality. I still remember dreams of a white gloved hand coming up from under my bed to grab me. I also remember being convinced there were monsters in my closets (I had 2), well into my teens.

Now, it seems as real as day - even to this day - but of course it was all a dream.

She also talked a baby with no legs and a "Fee Fi Fo Monster." I suspect Sofia's dreamworld is a very interesting place.
