The Lior Makes a Comeback

When Zusha was almost three years old, he invented a monster whom he called "Lior." (Posts in the link are in reverse chronological order.)
Basically, it was part of the crib, and we had to get rid of the crib and buy a toddler bed pronto. That was over two years ago, but Zusha never forgot it. Until we sold the crib, any time Zusha would enter the room where it was stored, he'd flee in fright. Eventually he calmed down, but never forgot Lior. He's joke about it with Gedalya, and didn't seem scared at all. Adel's portacrib has the same knobs, and Zusha was always fine with them.

But tonight, he came out of his room, shaking and crying hysterically. He insisted on coming to my bed because there is a Lior in his bed. I tried to convince him to show me where it is. He said that it's in the whole bed, and comes out of the pillow. I suggested to take away the pillow, but he said it won't help.

I couldn't let him into my bed, because Adel was there, so I directed him to the crib. So now we have a five year old sleeping in a portacrib. I've been planning to get the boys a bunk bed sooner or later... looks like it will have to be sooner!
