Monsters, Fear, Perseverance + Monster Spray for Halloween Fun

Once upon a time there was a very precocious and extremely verbal two year old who was VERY afraid of the MONSTERS in her dark bedroom at night. Bedtime became something of an ordeal. No amount of cajoling and maternal listening could convince her otherwise. 

Weary mommy would be awakened night after night with fearful tears as the Monsters seemed to convene sometime around 2:18 a.m. to start their Toddler terrorizing treachery.  Every.Single.Night. 

Then one middle of the night the lightbulb went off in that exhausted mommy brain! 
Ask WHERE the monsters were. Specifically. 

"They're under the bed." 
"They're up on the top of the teddy bear shelf." 
"They're between the shoes in the closet." 

Just like that! Mommy reached for her MONSTER SPRAY! 
She sprayed in each monster-hiding-place with the {invisible} spray. 

After all we had used bug-spray earlier that day and it DID keep the bugs away!!! 
In the wink and blink of an eye, little precocious one went to sleep! 
FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT!

Brilliant mommy made spraying the room's hiding places a nightly ritual forever after and the whole house slept soundly ever since!

You, too, can have an entire SONG to empower the fearful in your life.
