Wyatt is going through a phase where he is having bad dreams and is starting to be afraid of many things. Here are the top 10 things he is currently afraid of in order of severity of scare factor:
1) The "chocolate face" he saw in his closet
2) His closets
3) The "bumpy doggie" he saw in his covers
4) Elephants
5) Moo Cows in his bed
6) The "heater" which is any loud humming type of noise
7) The dark
8) Small blinking lights on computer or car alarms
9) The plastic spider hanging from the ceiling at Aunt Bootsy and Uncle Scott's house
10)Large dogs that look like moo cows
Today we had Alex, our contractor, come and give us an estimate on building closet doors for Wyatt's room. Its something that we've been wanting to do anyway, but given his current fear of his closets and things he sees in them, we are hoping that it will help make nighttime go a little smoother for him. I told Wyatt Alex was coming to "fix" his closets so they wouldn't be scary anymore. So, while Alex was here, Wyatt explained very specifically what was wrong with them (that there was a chocolate face in the closets) and then proceeded to give him a punch list of other things that needed fixing that were also scaring him. By the end of Alex's visit he was basically casting spells and warding off evil spirits for Wyatt. Luckily Alex also has a three year old so he was a very good sport. We'll see if any of it works.
