We tried everything to convince her that the clowns weren't in her room, trying to get her--including spraying air freshener and telling her it was clown spray. (Oh, the lies we sometime tell as parents--shame, shame!)The only thing that fixed the clown situation was the day we moved from Hawaii back to the mainland (when she was not quite 3) and showed her the ocean out of the plane window. Her first question was, "Can clowns swim?" Answer? "No! Of course not." And since she didn't see any clowns on the plane with us, from that day forward she decided they must all be back in Hawaii. I bet she won't be going there for her honeymoon!Linda Fulkersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17074587234284900405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338415997021913227.post-59544332170965627542006-05-01T11:50:00.000-04:002006-05-01T11:50:00.000-04:00Yeah, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are up the...Yeah, Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are up there with the scary creatures too. My kids always cried if they ever saw Santa at the mall. Here we tell them not to talk to strangers and then we put them on some stranger's lap that doesn't look at anyone they've ever seen before . . . Think we're providing some therapists with a good living?<br><br>They same thing does happen at Disneyland but to a little lesser extent because a lot of the characters the kids have seen on TV, movies, videos, etc. so they aren't as strange. However, as much as Calvin adores Buzz, he wouldn't go up to him. Just stared from a safe distance. I think he was wondering how Buzz fits in the TV if he's that big.Jennifer Tiszaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09688638274582413200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338415997021913227.post-27099784206285483732006-05-01T00:10:00.000-04:002006-05-01T00:10:00.000-04:00LOL!

Not an experience I wanted to repeat but this was a friend. The mouse on the outside was at least 25 feet tall! Talk about creepy...you could see him from the interestate. (shudder)Dineen A.

When you mentioned the party this week I thought, better her than me. I hate that place. It's as bad as Wal-Mart. My blood pressure goes up just thinking about it. And the poor kids spend like 8 hours trying to win some cool toy only to come back with a pencil top eraser. <br><br>I'd rather give the kid $10 and take him to Wal-Ma...Oh wait. I guess I'd just rather give him $10.Sabrina L.

I took the kids to see him at the mall for pictures one year--I was pregnant with Meg so that's why she wasn't in the pic--and Ian was terrified. He finally agreed to the shot but you should see how red his little face looked. You've seen the kidletts at Disneyland--does this happen when Mickey or Goofey show up?<br><br>Abundant blessings!Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00282306699437598730noreply@blogger.com
