A monster!

Day 1: Mary woke up during the night crying. She was afraid of a monster. Sarah talked to her and put her back to bed. A half hour later she came to our room and woke up Tamir. He let her get in bed with us for a little bit.

Day 2: After the girls were put to bed, Mary got teared up talking about the monster and how she would be scared again. Sarah talked to her about the monster.

Day 3:
Mary: My mom says I'm not scared of the monster.
Alli: Mary, say, Monster, go away. OK?
Mary: I closed my eyes and monster run away.
Alli: You closed your eyes and monster run away?
Mary: Yeah, I closed my eyes and he run away.
Alli: You open your eyes and monster come. Say go away! I have monkey in my bed with my dream. I close my eyes and monkey no go away.
Mary: I closed my eyes and monster run away.
Alli: Let me tell you something, Mary. You have to close your eyes and monster won’t come, OK? When the monster come, tell go away, this is my dream. OK? (Alli had heard me tell Mary few minutes earlier that she can tell the monster to go away.)

A skit

Mary: Happy ever ever after. Aah-aah-aah.
Mary and Alli twirl around.
Mary: Dong! Dong! It’s time to go home. Run, Alli!
Mary and Alli take one shoe off
Mary: Oh, my glass slipper fell off!
Alli: Oh, my glass slipper fell off too!
Mary and Alli run away
