AFRAID

JP is going through a phase.  He's afraid of the dark.  And being alone.

I'm certain it stemmed from the monsters and scary costumes around Halloween.

Yet, he's becoming self aware and won't actually say that he's afraid.

JP runs into AA's room the first second he wakes up, so as to not be alone in the morning.  And at night … he sneaks out of his bed (despite being reassured that we are in the house, nothing or no one will get him, our house is very strong and sturdy, Jesus is in his heart when he is afraid, the list could go on and on). Last night after A and I turned off the TV and shut off the lights downstairs, we saw this little guy snoring on the middle step.

Good thing he didn't roll.

I hope this phase ends soon.
