Both boys have periods of not being able to fall asleep. Christian usually comes in and says he's thinking about the 'scary thing' which is one of us dying. Poor guy. I feel badly for him, so we try to help him and did the worry book which he enjoyed. Olin wasn't scared until Halmoni's Korean soaps started to get to him. He came in one night and said he was really worried he was going to go to jail. We asked why. He said on Halmoni's Korean shows, someone went to jail. So we laughed and then didn't think about it. Well, it has been a recurring issue, this jail fear. Then, last week, he had another issue that I can't even remember, that he was scared about and again, it was from Halmoni's Korean shows. He said "I told Halmoni to turn off her Korean shows and she said she would but she never did! And when one show ends she just watches another show right after!"
So...Dae had a talk with her last week. And it worked....when the boys got home yesterday I saw her quickly switch off the TV. And one time I just saw her sitting on the couch, doing absolutely nothing (as usually the TV would be on).
Halmoni gives her all when she cooks and cleans and she clearly also gives her all when she's watching Korean soaps. She can watch SO much tv it's amazing...the funniest part is that a 5 year old is repeatedly asking a 70 year old to turn off the TV!
