Does any other child have a monster in the closet?

Aidan does. And the monster is moving into Colin's room since Colin hears Aidan talking about his monster, Colin's gotta have one too. :rolleyes: (But Colin drops it quickly.)

I'm quite certain this is just a diversionary tactic, but it's a really good one. Aidan doesn't cry or really act scared. He tells us elaborate takes of where the monster came from, where he goes once we banish him, how the other monsters will come into his room as soon as we leave, what the monster eats, etc. Again...no fear...just a lot of detail. Every time we try to leave the room he pulls us back in to tell us one more thing about what the monster is doing, or he ends up leaving to come and give us the update.

I'm not sure how to put a stop to this. :dunno: (I haven't tried to read up on it at all yet but I plan to - if needed - after I ask you all. :) )

We have monsters in the closet.
I have to make sure that the door is closed every night and the monster light is on(aka lava lamp)

I think Monsters, inc. had something to do with this.....

If he's not afraid of it, I would just ignore it. It's probably like an imaginary friend to him.

We gave Joe "monster spray" (aka water in a spray bottle) to spray around his room before bed. He sprays anywhere that the monsters can get in the room. For him, it is the door and the window. Once everything is sprayed, he is fine.

If I thought this wouldn't cause a disaster - Aidan is obsessed with firemen - I'd try that. But I do not at all trust he'd limit the spray to monsters! :crazy:

I'm inclined to think Monsters Inc has something to do with this too...with all this damn rain we've watched it a few times recently!
