Nate's Baby Monsters

A lot of children have imaginary friends. Nate, however, has baby monsters... 101 baby monsters, to be exact, and they usually hang out in his pocket. They seem to cause a lot of problems around the house, but they can do a lot of good things as well. They have become a regular topic of conversation in our home. The little monster in this picture (the blue one, not the other one) we found recently at FAO Schwartz, and we couldn't resist but to indulge in Nate's little fantasy a little.

Tonight while going to bed, Nate said, "Mommy, what if the witches come into my room?" We're not sure where he got this from... maybe Scoobie Doo? April's answer was, "Well Nate, you have 101 baby monsters to scare them off with." Then Nate took April's face in his hands and whispered, "Mommy, don't you know they're just pretend?!"
