More Scary Toys...

Trevor...

The other night, he picked up about 8 toys and a Monkey Pillow and put them outside his room. Because they were scary.

The next night, he picked up the shirt he'd worn that day. It had a dinosaur on it. He chucked it out of the room.

I tried to direct this fear into picking up his toys. I gave him two bins, one for scary things and one for regular toys. I wish I could say this worked perfectly well. I ended up picking up the toys, and then sitting the scary toy bin outside his room. And, just about every night since then, the scary bin sits outside his room at night.

If this is some sort of stage, I should expect Devin to be afraid of things that aren't really scary in January 2008.
