furry, wiggly, cat tail

so this morning when Ella woke up she immediately told me that she was mad at me because she was in her room scared and crying and I didn't come in there and check on her. I had no clue what she was talking about...her room is kinda far from ours and I don't have a a monitor in there or anything because she usually doesn't wake up, and if she does, she does her thing and then will go back to sleep. If it's in the morning, she just comes and gets me ( usually we are already up in the living room by the time she wakes up! ). I started asking questions to see what happened and she said she saw a cat's tail in her room. haha wait WHAT? She went on forever how there was a furry wiggly cats tail... I just kept laughing telling her it was her imagination. Then came bed time, and she like refused to go in her room by herself- even just to get her pj's. Got her dressed for bed and she made me carry her in there, then she started crying begging to sleep in my bed or me to sleep with her. We have never had this problem! So I "checked" her room, made Dad and the dogs check her room, turned on her bright lamp, and put the video monitor so I could watch her room all night to see if I saw a cat (her idea). I think I spent an hour telling her she was going to be OK. We kept telling her she maybe just dreamed it- THEN it clicked! YESTERDAY, Chance had the brilliant idea to let her watch the Johnny Dep version of Alice in Wonderland (what the HECK). He asked me if I had seen it the other day and I said yes, it's creepy and he said Ella should watch it- umm no, did you hear me just say it was creepy? Then I walk in the living room yesterday and they are watching it!! I was like this is creepy she doesn't need to watch this. WHO WAS RIGHT! Either she had a nightmare about the cat from Alice in Wonderland or she "thinks" she saw him walk past her room. this is why we say "mom's ALWAYS know BEST!". Finally got the little one to go to sleep- yes, her door was wide open. The imagination and the thoughts that go through a 3 year olds head- if only we knew half of it!

ummmm CREEPY RIGHT!!!!
