Quote of the Day

"Mama, one day you can go to the zoo with Daddy and I'll stay home with Daddy. You can see the lions and hear them roar. You'll only be gone for one minute, and I won't have to hear them, because I don't like them. They're loud and scary. Ok, Mama?"

Mattie has just recently started to be afraid of things (or at least to verbalize his fear.) He's expressed fear of being in his room alone at bedtime, the dark, and especially of the "Spooky Old Tree" book (which Jack and Elliot have always loved.) Apparently, we can add lions, or at least lions roaring to that list...
