Monsters in the dark!

Cherise is no longer sleeping in her room as there is "monsters" under her bed that just doesn't want to leave.

I am out of ideas trying to get her out of our room. I even tryed sending the "monster" with her grandma, she agreed that they were all in the car but when its dark she just refuses to sleep in her room. Turning on a light doesn't help.

Hamster

The other day Cherise got a hamster. She is looking after "Hammie", feeding him, playing with him, cleaning the cage. I just wonder when the novelty will wear off and I have to look after the poor fellow. She had a hamster when she was 2 but weren't too gentle handling him.

One morning at 3 she woke me up asking me where Hammie is, I told her to go look in the cage as that is where he should be, her answer to me was she played with him and fell asleep again and now he is not on her bed anymore. I woke my husband and we had to look everywhere in her room, after 1/2 hour I told her I will find him when the sun is up, upon entering my room I ran infront of me and he was put back. Cherise got a warning not to play with him when its dark.

Thinking back I find it hilarous being woken up in the middle of the night to look for a hamster!

Time

My oldest is turning 4 in three weeks time and I realised she is going to grade R in a year and a half. It feels like yesterday that we brought her home. Time is just going by too quickly! She has moved out of our room and into hers and I do miss her trying to sneek into our bed....I thought I would never say that.


They grow up so fast!
