We just spent several minutes looking at Jilli's picture while I told ltc that Auntie Jilli promised that there are no bad monsters in the house. It seemed to help, but now she wants to go see Auntie Jilli right now! She also did a monster hunt with daddy around the house.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Yay for Hamilton!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Turns out they were asking if we'd like to go see Grease.
I had the opposite confusion when everyone was SO! VERY! EXCITED! that my step-grandmother was going to Grease, and I was like, ... it's great, but... and I didn't figure it out until she said she'd be gone for 3 weeks.
Anyway, I hope JZ and Matilda are having a fantastic trip, shoo-bop-shoo-bada-wada-yippidy-bing-de-boom

Hey. New board.
Hamilton! I'm actually going on Saturday in Louisville. Discovered essentially by accident that we would be in Cincinnati during one of the weeks it is playing there.

I have Hamilton tickets for August!
Woot! I just saw it last weekend (finally). I had literally avoided the music for four years or so. I mean, I'd heard snippets, but really tried to stay unspoiled (e.g. turning off the Tonys when they performed that year). It was marvelous. And I've been listening to the soundtrack rather frequently.

Awww!
Oh! One other tip when helping munchkins deal with bad monsters: a plant mister full of water with a few drops of lavender oil (or any other essential oil you like the smell of) and put a big fancy label on it that says Monster-B-Gone. Have ltc mist her room every night.

Good idea. Her and her daddy went on a monster hunt around the house and flushed some "bad monkeys" down the toilet, which seemed to help. She really wants a video of you if you ever have the time to record a couple seconds of something. I have no idea where the bad monkey idea came from but she is terrified of them.

I will see what I can do this week!
Oh, send me your snail mail address. I may be able to put something together for her.
