Its OK... Look.

Every day my son develops new personality traits. Lately he has started developing traits of being scared of certain things. Today was a day full of being scared for him. This is how the day went...

First we went through one of these

An automatic car wash...

He screamed his head off the entire time. He was SO unbelievably scared of it. Every time the brushes would come down the car he thought it was going attack him- he can scream bloody murder.

Next- it was time to go shopping for the birthday boys present. My Mom watched him while we went. We found a puffer ball... So, what is a puffer ball? One of these-

I showed it to him, and again... he screamed bloody murder. He is terrified of these things. And I mean TERRIFIED.

Then it was on to eat dinner. He had already eaten and was not being on his best behavior while we ate. So my Mom brought him a stuffed animal frog just like this one-
That was all it took for me to decide to stop scaring my son for the day. My ears were ringing from all the screaming.

So, for his birthday please do not buy him a puffer ball, a toy frog and don't ever plan on taking him through a car wash.

I love my birthday boy!
