"Evan Protect Me"



Ellena has become afraid of a variety of things lately - monsters, the dark, loud sounds, bugs and spiders, scary tv shows - you name it, she's probably afraid of it. We have been struggling with bedtime and our endless methods would take up a separate blog post. But I caught the two kiddos yesterday snuggling on the couch as they watched a Halloween show, which Ellena deemed too scary. She insisted on watching it, as long as Evan protected her. Evan was thrilled to be the brave protector, but at one point, he did admit that Ellena was squishing his hand behind her back and that it was uncomfortable for him. But he took the pain and kept his hand there, just to ease her fears. I love seeing the two of them so loving towards each other - a nice break from their contrariness!
