We put Lila to bed on Halloween and went downstairs to have a glass of wine and watch a TV show. After a few minutes I heard quiet sobbing and went upstairs to check on her. She hasn’t cried like that in bed for at least a year, you know the way little kids sometimes do, when they’re scarred or over stimulated. I asked her what the matter was and she said, “I just don’t want it to be over…”. She stopped crying when we agreed not to take the decorations down for a few days and I told her she could share the necklace from my Dracula costume. Then in the morning she snuck into our room and put the necklace on my bedside table. I guess she felt better by then.
