Omnimax and sea creatures = nightmares

We took you to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) and while we were there we saw "Deep Sea" about creatures in the ocean. The footage was dazzling and awesome, the vignettes riveting. After the first few minutes, you leaned over to me and asked "Have they closed the window so the fish don't get out". It took me a minute to figure out that the picture was so life-like that you thought it was real. You handled the movie well at the time, and were pretty well behaved (migrating back and forth from Dad's lap to your seat) for the movie.

The rest of the evening at home was uneventful, but that night you got up and woke me up and asked me to sleep with you. I came in to lie down with you, and for the first time that wasn't enough - you wanted Dad too. You were talking about seeing a 'scary dancing puppy' in your room. I put you in our bed (eventually driving Dad out with squirming) and you slept.

The next night when Dad put you to bed you wanted Dad to stay in your room because the 'scary dancing puppy' might come back. He had to assure you that he had locked all the doors and no puppy was getting in. He had to explain that no dog has hands or keys and so couldn't unlock the door or open it. Eventually you were satisfied and went to sleep on your own. Anyway, no more giant scary movis for a while.
