I didn't really think that a toddler could be so scared of something so small, especially when no one else is and shows no fear to this oh so little creature! Wrong was I!!!
There could be a baby spider waaaaayyyyyy across the room in the furthest corner of the ceiling and my little one will freeze in complete terror saying he can't move and crying and screaming like I have only heard in movies. He becomes clammy and dripping sweat all at the same time and the fear in is eyes makes even me scared for him. I will have to go and pick him up and cuddle him for at least ten minutes to calm his nerves, all while someone else has to go squish the spider and dispose of it outside and not in the yard or where he might walk - he will remember it and not go anywhere near that spot even though the spider has been long gone.
He has never seen a movie of spiders or anything where spiders are bad, but this sheer terror is here and it is real....
What can this momma do for her precious little munchkin???
