Sorry I forgot to write stuff down. Nothing really happened except Daddy still hasn't found the monster but he didn't drink the rotten water this time, he just went outside and shot trees and stuff. Today Sammy said his first real word! I was doing some stuff for school and he was playing with the toy cars and then a wheel fell off and he didn't know how to fix it so he yelled "DEAN" and then he looked really surprised and I was too but then we got really excited and started dancing around until we knocked over a shelf and Daddy got angry again. But I told him that Sammy said his first word and Daddy smiled and asked what it was and I said it was Dean and he just looked really tired and went "that's good" and went back to his work. I think maybe he was sad that Sam didn't say Daddy but Sam doesn't really see Daddy much. Then I fixed Sammy's car because I want to be able to fix cars like Daddy does so I learned to fix small cars so I can fix big ones too. My friends at school all think it's cool.

I was sick today so Daddy said I could stay home if I didn't bother him. I like staying home from school. School isn't really that fun because we move schools every couple of weeks which is bad because I can never fit in properly or stay with my friends. And I can hang out with Sammy. Sam was sick today too. We couldn't play much because we weren't feeling good but we read some books that I got from the library. I don't really like them but Sammy likes books so I found some pictures books and we like to read them together. Sammy is a fast learner. He can't read but he knows what I'm saying and likes to point at the pictures that show what I'm reading. I tried to make Daddy read to him but he didn't do that good and he just sounded bored and annoyed the whole time and Sammy got frustrated and walked off because Daddy doesn't stop to let him point at the pictures or do funny voices. Daddy got angry then and told me to keep the books to myself so I don't ask him to do it anymore.

Yesterday was really scary but also awesome. There was a monster that Daddy was looking for but we saw it too. It was under Sammy's bed. Daddy always checks for monsters and then puts salt around but Sammy tripped over the line and there was a gap so in the middle of the night a monster came. Sammy yelled a lot. I ran to see what was going on and there was a monster climbing into his crib so I shouted for Daddy and threw salt at the monster like Daddy told me. It hissed at me and started coming towards me and I didn't have any more salt so I was really scared until Sammy threw a toy car at its head. Then he jumped out and ran away so while the monster went to get him I jumped on its back and punched it REALLY hard in the head! Then it went to sleep. Daddy came then because he was in the basement so he didn't hear at first but then he came with his gun and he was surprised when he saw the sleeping monster. He was upset that Sammy broke the line but then he patted our heads and said we did okay. Then he shot the monster so I think it's gone now. I was really scared and so was Sammy so I let him sleep in my bed. He's going to stay in my room now because Daddy doesn't think he should be by himself and he doesn't want to be by himself either. And I don't want him to either. And can I tell you a secret? I don't want to be by myself as well because it was really scary. But it was really cool because we actually beat a monster! And we helped Daddy get rid of it! Maybe if we do it more then Daddy will be proud of me.
