Overcoming Fears & Other Highlights of the Week

You might be saying to yourself "I thought Alex was terrified of the vacuum!" Well, he was terrified. Horrified really. When I would vacuum he would sit stone still on the couch until the vacuum was all the way back out in the garage when he would again feel safe. This week I let him "help" me one day. He wasn't too impressed at first, but grew to love the noisy beast. I just thought this picture was too cute. His melodies are actually sounding a little more like playing and less like just throwing things at the piano. I'm enjoying his curiosity about the piano. Sometimes he sings along too, which just melts mommy's heart. We are beginning to see the signs of having a musical little boy. :)
We were blessed to have a couple of nice days this week to play outside. Today was quite cold, but at least dry enough for Alex and daddy to have some time with the trike and a wagon ride around the neighborhood.

  2. It must be a phase that some kids go through because Julianna was scared of the vaccuum for a long time. Glad that he was able to conquer his fears. I have a picture of Julianna playing the piano when she was about that age too, I just love it! Alex is going to be a musical boy with musical parents. He will be able to enjoy and appreciate it. :-)
