The Big, Brown, Hairy Monster

She'll launch across living room furniture like a rocket.

She'll go down the stairs head first just to reach her destination sooner.  

And she'll fearlessly run around the house with a sharp object while yelling "Come get me".

Fearless as she might be, it seems Lauren has FINALLY met her match when it comes to her fear factor.

This past weekend, after putting Lauren into her crib for her usual nap time we endured over 20 minutes of screams and shrieks coming from her room.  Upon checking on her (as these weren't the normal "I'm trying to get out of taking a nap" screams) we were met by the BIG, BROWN, HAIRY MONSTER.  

That's right...all one centimeter of him.

It seems a small tuft of hair had come off of Lauren's brown teddy bear and scared that child like no other.

Once we convinced her that it was NOT a big, brown, hairy monster 

she settled on it being a big brown spider instead (which also was not well received).

 Lauren was so upset that she skipped her nap entirely and teddy bear has been instructed to no longer lose his hair.
