Over the last several months T has developed a fear of monsters and various 'scary' things. He was never wary of masks, the dark, loud noises, etc but lately..... for instance if we play in the house and jump out at each other... this is fun. If the lights are out in his room.... fear. When going to bed at night: dark room...fine. Random. But one thing that is non negotiable is masks... scary masks, friendly masks, animal masks, these are not ok and cause major fear. Therefore our trip to the dentist on Friday was great until they put on the masks...... ahhh fear..... then we traveled to the 'police office' to have lunch with Uncle Jerry... fun! except for the siren that Uncle Jerry let loose on his police car... fear. After a picnic we ventured in to see the big fire trucks, this picture was huge because it took a while to get T to touch the truck..... T became more comfortable and although he chose not to sit in the driver's seat, very cool I must admit, he did have fun touching the trucks, until an alarm went off in the garage, FEAR, and although it was nothing more than an alert for a truck out on a run, it ended our day. Good thing I took pictures early!
