Out of nowhere, and
seemingly not prompted by any traumatic event, Sophia had suddenly
developed a terror of the blender, vacuum, coffee grinder, or anything
that plugs in and makes a similar noise. I'm talking run-in-her-bedroom,
shut-the-door, close-and-cover-her-eye, "no no no no no" type of
terrified. Don't know where this behavior came from or how to deal with
it other than not use any of these things when she is home (yes, my
floors are really dirty right now since we are rarely home without her
here). Only thing I was thinking of is getting her toy versions of these
appliances/tools that make play noises so she sees that they are not
going to hurt her when mommy and daddy are using theirs.
Any other ideas? I pray this phase ends soon.
