Good idea. My sister said to do that. We've gone with the "put up the little glowing stars on the ceiling for distraction" method and now "camping" in her room in my sleeping bag with a little flashlight the past couple of nights. We helped her make a sign for her door that said "no monsters" and she drew and "wrote" all over it and taped it up for protection. I set the live trap on the front porch...I think we're making progress. Its pretty unsettling when your child is that terrified and doesn't think you can do anything about it.

Since starting typing this reply, I've been called away to help put in pink eye medicine, wipe a bottom and flush a #2 that bobdole would have named and should be an entry in my poo'em thread.
