Fear

For the last few weeks, all of a sudden Vio develops fear of almost anything. Even on the small small stuff.

When he sees ants, he'll run away and say "Scared ants! Scared ants!"  Even when he sees dirt on the floor, he'll say "Hii.. dirt.. scared dirt.."  And don't even mention about bugs or anything that flies.. He'll also feel scared to see the flowers in our home moving because of wind from the fan.

Well, I read somewhere that children around 2 years old have a very big imagination. So it's normal for them to be suddenly afraid of small things.

So what we do now is try to acknowledge his fear, be there for him when he's scared of anything, and try to explain to him that it's ok... Oh! And also hoping that this phase will end soon.. ;)
