Zombies

At PS's request we visited the temporary Halloween shop that recently opened.  We visited when we were shopping for PS's part, but it had just opened and wasn't really set up yet. On this visit, they were all ready for Halloween.  The store was fully stocked and there were creepy scenes set up everywhere.  The centerpiece was a merry-go-round filled with zombie babies. At the back of the store were plenty of full-size zombies that moved and made noise and lit up.  And then there was a half-body being eaten by a giant rat with accompanying sounds and movement.  Yeah, it was disgusting.

But it was all pretend in a well-lit store full of people in the middle of the day.  So we laughed at the zombies and moved along.

And then last night TT came into our room twice because she couldn't sleep.  She can't stop thinking about the zombies. And tonight she has been out of bed three times and is currently in my bed. Oh boy.

TT is our most sensitive kid. The movie Coraline also gave her nightmares (one of PS's favorites!), so we are careful about what she is allowed to watch. And she frequently had night terrors when she was very young.  But I did not realize that visiting the Halloween store was going to freak her out.  I was more worried about her seeing the giant penis costume than the zombies.

Not sure how to fix this one.
