(whenever Melody tries to do something and it won't work or happen for her, she says, its not working)
And from Joe:
The girls have had a large preoccupation with bugs lately (especially mosquitoes). Whenever any one of us goes outside, Melody cautions whoever it is to "be careful, the bugs are coming out". That same preoccupation follows them to their room when it's time to go to sleep at night. At first, we could just talk them out of their fears. Later, we got to the point where Melody was so convinced there were bugs in her bed I had to pull her bed out away from the wall each night so she could see there were no bugs on the floor. Now, after explaining and showing there are no bugs, they still want a guarantee that none will come. So last week one night I left their room frustrated at my ability to get them off of the topic and into dreamland. I then got an idea and headed down the hall. A few seconds later I entered their darkened room and sprayed the air over their beds with something from a dark can. I explained that the smell would keep the bugs away for the night. They were satisfied. I then went back to the bathroom and put the bottle of Axe body spray back on the shelf.
