Baby Giants

Eli is going through a phase of being afraid of the dark. We use to be able to put him to sleep with the door completely shut and no nightlight. Until recently, he has been requesting for the door to be opened and sometimes for us to leave the hall light on for him. Lastnight he became freightened and he ran into our room. He told me there were baby giants (baby giants?!) in his room and that he was scared. We laid together in my bed and I explained that only Mama, Daddy and Eli are in the house and that there is nothing to be afraid of. We laid together for a bit quietly when after a while Eli said, "I'll keep you safe, Mama." What a sweet little guy...
