Facing his Fears...

Like most babies Jeffrey is terrified of the vacuum. The poor kid shakes (literally) and screams and cries when we turn it on. You have to either vacuum with two people (one to hold him and the other to do the job) or vacuum with Jeffers in your arms. He's facinated by it, but he's just scared to death of it. He'll actuall reach up for you if it's going and he is on the floor or in his high chair. Yesterday we were cleaning and making dinner and having lots of chaos at our house. Jeffrey ended up next to the vacuum and spent a long time studying it.
He was a little hesitant to touch it, but in the end his bravery won out and he was brave enough to touch. It's apparently not too scary when it's turned off. ;)

In the end Jeffers and the vacuum became buddies...that is until we turned back on to finish the job, and the he wanted nothing to do with his new friend. (But seriously look at those eyes! I love it! Blue, Blue, Blue!)
