this kid is old enough to rationalize creepy situations as "oh, it's just my imagination" but doesn't have a doll yet? (and she already has a closet full of toys so she doesn't sound poor)

weird shits happening in that room but let's sleep in it and the chair gets knocked over but let's let the kids nap in there. not to mention the gender fluid stuff. I'm all for that but wait until they are adults to make that choice. can be some serious damage done when they are young
