Truman has recently developed a pretty intense fear... of cows. It all started conference weekend when we went to Reed's Dairy with my parents for some ice cream. DaNae and Aaron took Truman out to see the cows in the back and he was okay-- mooing at them and having the normal toddler-cow interaction-- when suddenly one mooed back. He HATED it! He buried his face in DaNae's neck and said, "No like it!" He has been afraid of cows, and most animals, ever since. He even refuses to look at stuffed animal cows, or cows in books. Andrew thinks this is hilarious and likes to moo at him and show him pictures of cows, etc. (He is then punished for being mean and told made-up stories of when he was afraid of silly things like milk.) Every once in a while Truman will go, "Moo! .... No like it cows." Then I have to ask him, "Then why did you just say "Moo"?

That's funny about the cows. I don't really blame him though. from a distance and in books they seem all innocent and even cute... Then you come face to face with one and they MOOOOOOOOO MOOOOOOOOO! What nerve! Now would be a great time to explain that we eat cows.... Yeah, they get theirs in the end! Ha!

ReplyDeleteShaley, huh... so... are you going to tell me who you are? At first I thought you might be my sister Chalea, but she is only nine and you sound like an adult.
