Monsters Emerge

Laney learned about things that are "scary". We've reached a milestone. This might explain why she was acting weird at the park when playing last week (she suddenly came over and sat next to me. She has never, ever done that before) Tonight she read the Fry's ad and pointed out the scary Halloween mask. I hate to see her be scared of anything. I wish I could keep her from knowing about any of the bad stuff in the world. Last night she woke up at around 1 and I had to go in and get her comforted and back to sleep. I think that's one of the first times I've done that.
On an upside, all the kids went to Diane's for a few hours while I went to the dentist today (no, that's not the upside) and while there Kenna scooted her way across the blanket. That child has a will to move like no one else. They played pretty hard with Di and Leah. I guess Laney had a tantrum while there. Griffin and Kenna took their bottles well and only Kenna slept even though Griffin needed to. He isn't a day time sleeper as much and likes to be entertained.
Griffin is something of a momma's boy. He gets a little scared by strangers and loud or sudden things. It's funny that my two girls are so oblivious and my little boy is the sensitive one. I guess they just process the world in different ways. A part of me has never been able to relate to Laney's fearlessness and outgoing personality, but I understand sensitive quite well. Of course, Griffin is just slightly subdued in comparison to his sisters. Compared to the rest of the world he's still pegging the happy baby scale.
I bought Laney a Princess Aurora (aka sleeping beauty) nightie while I was out today and she was super thrilled to put it on tonight. I let her keep the light on tonight so that she could lay in bed and admire it. Her first nightgown. I'm a sellout to Disney commercialism, but it makes my daughter happy so what the hell.
I'm not feeling well tonight, I have a weird chest pain. So keeping it short.
