Alex(speaking quietly at first and then progressivly getting louder): "mom? mom? Mo-mmy. Mom? MOM?! MOM!!"
Robyn (walking into his room squiniting without my glasses): "What's that matter sweetie? Do you want to come to mommy and daddys bed?"
Alex: "It's looking at me."
Robyn: "What?" Oh, just come here and we can go lay down in my bed."
Alex (voice cracking and on the verge of tears): "IT's LOOKING at ME!"
He points to the closet. I squint my eyes in the direction of his hand. Oh dear. His dragon costume is laying atop a pile of blankets, staring at him with his big googley eyes, and sharp, sharp teeth...frightening indeed.
Alex: "IT'S LOOKING AT ME!"
So, yes, I slayed a dragon this morning. Not many people can say that these days.
Here is a picture from Halloween, of Alex wearing the scary dragon costume. )

On a side note.***
As we were getting ready for church last sunday Alex was playing on the floor singing to himself as he often does. I recognized the tune as "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" but he put his own little spin on the words...
"Un-cle Dag-null had a farm, e-i-e-i-O. And on his farm he had a pig-hat, e-i-e-i-O. oink oink here, oink oink oink. Un-cle Dag-null had a farm, e-i-e-i-O."
Then he noticed I was listening and hammed it up a little more.
"UN-CLE DAG-NULL had a farm, e-i-e-i-OOOOO. On his farm he had a PIG-hat. Hat hat here, hat hat hat! HAHAHA! That funnee Mom?"
My little comedian. :)
By the way, "uncle Dagnull" is Alex's way of pronouncing "Uncle Daniel," who is serving a mission in California.
Uncle Daniel and Alex.Ignore the date, this was taking in November 2011, the night before Daniel flew to the MTC.
