Fear Itself

We all have things that scare us. Some people are scared of the dark or enclosed spaces. We found the first thing that strikes fear into the heart of our little 15 month old:

Mooooooooo!

We aren't sure what it is about this little cow on wheels that Grandma and Grandpa Gregg brought on their last visit, but Jonah freaks out when he sees it. A look of fear casts itself over his face, and he runs to the closest parent that isn't near the cow.

I've tried to capture his reaction, but the interest in the camera always seems to beat out the fear. We did catch a little today (sorry for the shakiness). Toward the end of the video, Jonah started to warm up to the cow.



We'll have to see what happens over time... As the FDR quote goes, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Maybe this cow's name is fear...
