The other day we were walking home from the park and Ethan heard our neighbor's dog bark. He immediately stiffened up and covered his eyes. When I asked him what on earth he was doing, he said, "I'm hiding, from the dog." Oh brother. Luckily, as we made our way passed the dog, he realized and said, "that wasn't too bad." I hate to say it, but the kid needs to toughen up.
So today when I went to change his diaper...yes, my almost three-year-old is still in diapers. Which actually brings up another fear...the toilet. Terrified. Absolutely, terrified. Anyway, while I was changing his diaper he started covering his eyes again. Are you kidding me? Getting very annoyed with the whole fear thing, I said, "Ethan, why are you covering your eyes? Are you scared?"
"No, it stinks."
"Then why are you covering your eyes?
Again, "It stinks."
"Then you should cover your nose."
"No, I cover my eyes."
Oh-kay. I suppose it's time for a lesson on the five senses.

He sure is cute! Tyson is a lot like that but most of the time it is just with loud noises such as the vacuum or blender. I have to tell him each time I turn them on or he is in tears. I think they will grow out of it right? :0)!
That is too cute!! It is interesting the things they are afraid of, isn't it? Our little Andrew sometimes gets scared because he says he sees monsters. So I tell him that they went bye-bye. Now he just goes, don't worry, the scary monsters went to sleep at the cabin!! Anyway, your boys are so cute!! They are at fun ages right now, and cute to see them together!
I agree. When a kid is old enough to be disgusted by his own diaper, then he either needs to be potty trained or change it himself. Good luck with that.
Hey Megan- It's fun to hear from you & see what adventures you guys are having. Your boys are both so dang cute! We too are still doing the diaper thing for Owen & I seriously am not a fan, seriously. Well, anyways, hope things are going well for you guys.

he's a funny little guy! my boy is afraid of bugs and any sort of stuffed animal that doesn't look like a farm animal. but i'm sure like everyone else says he'll grow out of it. :)
