Lol that's awesome. (About the stuffed animals) Actually, he was rather ho-hum about it, except for the part about not being able to wake up. That freaked him out a little. We have talked about protection in a sort of 'non-threatened' way. Since he has grown up without devil mythologies he's not afraid of anything like that, and I don't want him to start believing in stuff like that, so we do the prayer of protection, and I will introduce the idea of Jesus as protector (in his mind Jesus is teacher)- some day I'll tell him about my experience of Jesus when he was born- but I don't feel he's ready yet. He is so unafraid I don't want to spoil that. So it's kind of hard to introduce the idea of 'protection' without 'from what'. It's a weird conundrum.
ps. Of course, when he's not looking, I sprinkle his clothes with holy water, and do clearings with incense (he has no idea why, thinks I'm just anal about smells in the house. .
