emotional trama?

i think ben's stuffed animals are struggling with depression. they cry a lot. at least once a day ben tells me that horsey is crying. and he's sad. when i probe it's usually something like, "he's sad because he didn't get ice cream" or "he's crying because he fell."

surely there is something there....right? ben is finally processing the reality of Lyle? of me not having as much patience as i could? of the abundance of (pregnancy craving) junk food no longer in the house?

i am scheduling a session with the animals and will let you know if we have a break through.
