Just watched a Planet earth show with Rob. We love Planet earth... it is amazing. Tonight, we watched these guys trying to film piranhas in a feeding frenzy. What? Who in their right minds swims with piranhas? In fact, when they didn't find piranhas at one site, these locos were happy when they got to film alligators. In the water. Swimming with them.
Everyone has some irrational fear (although I do admit that some sound more rational than others). My fear is fish. Swimming with fish scare the bejeezers out of me. I love to swim and I love the ocean, but I start to hyperventilate if I can feel or (worse) see the fish. We went snorkelling on our honeymoon, and Rob and I got separated a bit. At one point, I got so freaked out in a shallow place, I just stood up and started to cry. Rob, across the little bay, looked up and thought, "Oh look at that poor girl crying. Oh wait... that's my wife!" Bless my heart.
I've tried to conquer my fear, and have tried diving once and even snorkeled with a shark (luckily, I didn't notice it until it was under me, moving away from me.) But swimming with alligators, sharks, and piranhas? Makes even potty training look easy.

Mine is snakes. Can't even look at pictures of them. have done numerous embarrassing scream/jump/throw textbooks... over the years!
So I just read your last post and am intrigued. Jacob cannot walk 4 feet (literally) and remember what he was doing. He can, though, sit down and read for 2 hours straight, or listen to you talk about something he is fascinated with for quite some time, though he does interrupt all the time with questions.
Do you think that if I asked his pediatrician they could give some good advice? What are your thoughts?
LOL Boy you must have a fear if it makes potty training look easy!!!
My fear is heights and spiders. I have had to adapt to "trying" to kill a spider if someone else isn't around...what you won't do for you kids!!!! Before kids I would just sit and watch it sometimes an hour before some one came and got it. As for heights I FREEZE...literally I can not move! Thanks for sharing this post! I hope you didn't have nightmares!
