So Caeden has had a series of nightmares lately. One night he woke up screaming, "Bees! Bees!" Another night he woke up in a sweaty mess mumbling something about how the bugs were going to get him. This weekend I took him to the park where he sat at the top of the slide refusing to go down because there was a ladybug at the bottom. I asked him why the ladybug was so scary and he said that it was going to fly into his eye.
Um...where does he get these ideas? Trying to help tame his fears, I went to the library and checked out "Elmo's Springtime" which has a section featuring an assortment of singing, friendly, happy bugs. Okay, so maybe it's a little creepy, but I was hoping to ease his mind. We are entering bug season, you know, and Minnesota's national bird is the mosquito.

Poor little guy. Carson had this fear so we bought plastic bugs and put them all over him. That didn't work. Don't try it. It freaked him out.
