So, Truett's new thing is that he HAS to have the 'bright light' on when he goes to bed at night...not to mention the 2 night lights on either side of his bed! Jay and I can't figure out what his deal is and if there is something that is causing him to be afraid or if this is just 'normal behavior'. He has a cross hanging over his door and he says that Jesus says, "NO MONSTERS!", but that just ain't cuttin' it for him.
It was a little humorous, at first, but the other night while I was reading to him, I told him that after we read, I was going to put him in his bed, but that I'd leave his door open and turn on the hall light. He said, "Ok, Mama. I not worry." WORRY? I'm starting to think that our 'used to be so easy' bedtime ritual has turned into a nightmare not because our child doesn't want to go to sleep but because he's so scared of the dark! :(
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Until then, I guess it'll be 'lights on' at 'lights out' time in the Praytor house! :)
