Weebo

Paige has had alot of fears lately. Fear of house fire, fear of kidnapping in our house, fear of the dark and fear of our early death. So it was no surprise last night when she had a bad dream (about my two deceased brothers getting in a plane crash) and I went in to sleep with her. When we woke up , I explained what rare meant and how the things she fears are very rare. And when she hears of people breaking into a house it is whilethe people are not home anyway and the person only wants stuff to steal, not people (hey!! It was 5 am !! It was the best I could do at the time!!) "Was it rare that you and daddy were in a tornado?" "Um.. yes.. But daddy and I are SO safe.. and we would do anything to keep you just as safe." She sat a minute. Looked at me. Then she said, " If robbers came into our house..I KNOW it won't happen mommy.. but IF it did, I just hope they don't take weebo (her security blanket she has had since birth).
