So, lets see what happened today. The love affair with Jack the Cat continues. At breakfast Eliana told Ari that she will not marry him anymore. Don't remember the details, but that was the big end to their interchange. They are hysterical.

Accidentally Ari bumped the remote control while Eliana was unwinding and watching a show and it turned to a station with a detective show on. Next thing you know Eliana is hysterical because there is a gun and the "police are going to kill someone!". I have never seen her so upset. It is amazing how sensitive she is to that stuff. It really makes you realize that the kids are confident and comfortable but they are protected. When that protection is not there, they are very vulnerable because they cannot handle much of what goes on. So I feel by keeping their world safe and managed, they have the freedom to feel confident. I imagine a child exposed to scary things frequently would be very insecure because the world as we know it is just too much to process.
