GHOSTS


So, on the 9th, our blow up ghost was put outside. Apparently, she was a super helper getting it laid out, but the minute it was plugged in, she was scared to death of it!! Not walking in the yard at all, unless one of us was holding her as long as it was inflated & no conversation about it just being a big balloon was satisfying her! Mimi brought over this mini ghost that lights up & a book about ghosts to help her overcome this fear. It took 4 days before she'd even hold this ghost! Now she'll flip its switch & give it a hug without question. It's her 'squishy friendly ghost.'
It's been 2 weeks with the inflatable ghost, & while she wants to go outside & watch it blow up, she has no interest in going anywhere close to it without death gripping my neck! Another neighbor has a blow up spider & Scooby Doo. We went to visit Scooby with the same reaction. Oddly enough, she has no fears at all over our neighbors house with all the grave stones,grim reapers, skull heads & casket on their front lawn!

I love these posts. So cute. And the adorable photos. A fear of ghosts is healthy. Otherwise she'll be heading for the light in the television set and... wait, was that a good thing to head for the light, or bad? I don't remember. Some sort of twist ending.
