It just took me over two hours to get my 4 year old to sleep, and he is in my bed not his. He always goes to sleep in his bed and usually takes half an hour. He kept repeatedly asking if monsters are real, if ghosts are real, if vampires are real, if bad guys are real, and do they kill people. It was a lot! I've never had him mention death and he knew more than I thought he knew, I don't know if he's picking it up from his friends at school. He seems so young. I'm guessing it's the time of year! Has anyone else had this? I'm worrying a little about handling it because he always goes to sleep so well in his own bed and hasn't said he's scared of the dark or whatever so I just don't want this to be the start of a downward spiral. Does anyone else's child seem to be freaked out by Halloween?!
