Monster Under the Bed

Last night, we spent the night at my mom and dad's house. At bed time, Ethan gave me such as scare that had me laughing my booty off. As I put Ethan to bed, I performed our usual routine. We changed, read books, I laid down with him for 15 minutes and then left him alone in the room. He got up 1 time and I put him back to bed, tucked him in, and told him that I would be back soon (since we were sleeping in the same room). Well about an hour later, I got ready for bed, changed into my jammies, took my contacts out (yes...I am blind), and retired to bed. Once in the room, I glanced at Ethan's bed to check on him but couldn't see him so I felt around the bed....No Ethan! I thought "that little stinker, he is in my bed" but he wasn't there either. Well I was carrying my phone and shone it around the room....No Ethan! I began to freak out....until I hear a small noise. I listened closely and could hear him breathing. I began to look harder and found him underneath the bed. He had purposely crawled under the bed because he had his pillow, blanket, 2 stuffed animals, and a toy tractor! I couldn't beleive it! I laughed so hard and I had to share my find....so I called my mom into the room to help me try to fish him out. We got him out and he never even woke up. We had a really good laugh but the night was not over yet....

Later that night Ethan woke me up making noises. He was in the act of shoving everything back under the bed! I asked him what he was doing and he responded "Momma your here!" then grabbed a spare pillow and pulled up his blankets and went back to sleep...very odd. When my alarm went off the next morning, I found Ethan again trying to crawl under the bed but this time he was trying to pull out his pillow, blanket and the stuffed animals! I asked him why he was under the bed and his response was that he was playing with his tractor! nothing else.

What I find really weird is that he is terrified of shadows but he can crawl under the bed in the dark!!!
