Conquering a fear

If you ever wonder if your children turn into you then look no further. Look at how your child acts to certain situations and think back to your childhood. Where you scared of clowns? Thunderstorms? Didnt like certain foods? Like certain toys? Well my son is a tiny version of me when it comes to being adventurous.....or NOT as in my case.

When Ben was old enough for me to put up on the counter at the bank or post office so you can sign something etc he would always scream and not like it. Big slides make him nervous and going to parks is a bust unless there is plenty of room to just run. He doesnt like climb on things, jump off of really high things.....basically likes to stay near the ground. Well Ben has broken out of his shell a tad bit and actually went on moon bounces all by himself AND climbed up and slid down the big slide. He (and I) were so proud of him. I would like to thank Adam and Ryan his friends for the peer pressure......well not really peer pressure as it was showing Ben that it is NOT scary to do those things eventhough mommy tried showing him. We are going back this week and again in a couple week. My little boy is one big boy.
