Max's new room!

Upon coming to the conclusion that it might not work so well to have Max & Atticus sharing a room quite yet, we decided to move Max into the guest bedroom and Atticus into Max's old room. I was really worried that Max wouldn't want to move to a new room, so we really tried to make it a room he would love. When we were finishing the closet, I kept asking him if he wanted this to be his room. He kept telling me, "No, too big." I'm not sure what he meant by that seeing as his old room is much bigger.We got the room all finished and took him in for the grand presentation. He loved it! He pointed proudly to his Buzz and Woody poster and shouted, "Look at this!" When he went to bed that night he thanked God for "all these letters" as he pointed to the alphabet above his window. It was so cute.

We have had a few drawbacks. His first 2 nights in the new room, there were bad thunderstorms, and he kept saying, "I not scared. I not scared of thunder." He still loves his room, but he has had a sudden burst of nightmares. One night he ran in our room screaming that the dinosaur was "roaring" outside his window. I think it might have been the neighbor's dog? He is closer to the neighbor's house now and can probably hear the dog at night. He was inconsolable until Dad thought of the brilliant suggestion that the dinosaur had gone to his own house for night-night. That seemed to do the trick. Poor guy. Last night he ran out of his room screaming that Sulley from the Disney movie "Monsters, Inc." was sitting on his bookshelf. After we took all the stuffed animals down and examined the bookshelf, he felt better. He still tells us regularly that he is "not scared", and he does sleep with a flashlight-in the midst of all the other toys on his big double bed.
