Building a Monster Trap

So after reading the book The Monster Trap for the billionth time tonight, Kai decided he wanted to catch a monster. Since we KNOW that monsters LOVE stinky things, we got a box and put a big slab of Swiss cheese in it. We put the box on his computer desk across from his bed (and may I say it stank! I could smell it from my room and the dog was doing everything in her power to get it). Kai then proceeded to tell me everything he wanted to do with the monster when it showed up. He was so hopeful! Kept talking about hoping a monster comes to visit. Said that the monster would knock on the door and he would play with his trains with it when it came. I feel like we're having our first tooth fairy moment ;^) Needless to say, I gave the dog the cheese when Kai fell asleep. I'm sure we'll be talking about it tomorrow.
