Cries I can handle--it's the screams that freak me out.

So it's safe to assume he'll not be a goul for Halloween.

I hope this week passes quickly for you. I noticed last week when I didn't make it to the gym (at the crack of dawn) I was way more stressed out ALL FLIPPIN day long....all week. Today I made it back - new day, new week. Maybe that would help! Good luck and keep us posted.

Hope your week flies by in regards to work...

The Halloween thing seems to get complicated at this age. My oldest daughter (3) just asked me over the weekend about ghosts and monsters and if they are real and they scare her. It was quite a discussion, in which I brought up Casper the friendly ghost. Don't ask. I need a do over.

Some of the decor at Target is pretty damn scary. That and the Spirit Store. I love Halloween but I won't be taking my son into the Spirit Store just because they really go for the gruesome/freaky element.

Why does Halloween have to be full of evil looking things? Whoever started it should have picked something better to do with their time. We spend so much time and money on spooky things just for a lolly-pop that only last for a minute or two.

Call me a party pooper but Halloween stinks.

Sounds like a rough week. Good luck getting through it in one piece.

Hang in there, man. My 6 y/o stepdaughter is begging me to take her a haunted house. I'm like "what the..." This from a kid who's afraid of her own shadow as they say.

Hey, good news! Monday is over with!
Hope the rest of your week goes by smoothly.

PS. I don't blame Z-Dub for being scared. I still hate all that scary Halloween shit and I'm 42!

Good thing you have something to look forward to at the end of the week! Walmart has a stupid sound box in their candy aisle, it is so very annoying, especially when it starts screaming. I was a couple aisles over and mentioned how awful it must be to be stuck working by it, the employee totally agreed and then "snuck" over and turned if off, said he was going to flip it back on at the end of his shift, lol.

My 21 month old still gets scared by the characters on Blues Clues, I have no clue how we're going to get through October without freaking him out.

I hope your son gets over his fears and you guys can get some sleep!
