Lucy's greatest fear

Lucy has had a running fear of octopi.  We're not sure when it started, but every night for the last several months, she asked us to check her bedroom to make sure none have invaded.  Her fears grew so intense, that I had to begin promising her that if an octopus came to the door, I wouldn't let it in.

Octopus: "Hey, I'm here to scare Lucy in the night time."
Me: "Sorry, you can't come in.  I'm her mom, and I say so."

  One night I came home from a night out with girlfriends and found that Caleb had made this sign for our front door.  It stayed up for several weeks.  I'm sure the UPS guy thinks we're weirdos.


This week when we saw this pillow for sale at Target, I couldn't help it.  I made Lucy pose with it. She was a good sport, and even faked the scared face for me!
