Avi is asleep on the couch downstairs (where Cary is doing sone work on his ipad) because he was genuinely too terrified to go to sleep in his room when we were not on the same floor. He lost story time due to poor behavior at dinner. He got ready for bed ok but then when left alone got more and more worked up about his latest bedtime fear. Ready for this... Electricity. He's been pretty freaked out about electricity every since seeing the transformer explode in the spring snow storm.
He has also become terrified of cars. To the point of being paralyzed at the thought of one near him. Not the presence of a running car, but just the possibility of one. This has transformed his new bike riding pleasure into a thing of the last (hopefully temporarily), and makes it impossible for him to get out of the car in a parking lot without a grown up right beside him. Where did my fearless toddler go?
Also in this note about how Avi's mind works... He worked much of Sunday with Cary on the project in the basement. He was curious about the barometer and then the dehumidifier and wouldn't stop asking questions until he understood exactly how the whole thing worked. Cary asked him the next morning if he remembered how it worked and he was able to describe it back to him in specific step by step details.
