Fears (long)

February 23, 2001

I just had to share this. This may seem minor, but to us it was a great BIG

leap in the right direction for my . Today they had fire safety day

and normally when they do this throws himself on the floor in a big

fit and pulls his ears almost off while rocking. He is terrified of the big

firetruck, the firemen in their getup and most of all the big costume of the

firedog. He has NEVER EVER went up to any of these type of characters like

you see at amusement parks at such. This is his BIGGEST fear. But today was

the greatest and a true test of the diet since it was the first time since

starting the diet that he has come in contact with one of these characters.

He actually went up to the Dalmatian dog and hugged it. I was soooo proud of

him and his aide took a picture of it. We were planning on going to

Paramount's Kings Island this year, but every time we go we have the hardest

getting him in the park and have to deal with him when one of those

characters come around. The last time we went JabberJaws snuck up behind him

and I thought he was going to die from fright. I'm thinking maybe now he will

do good. The weird thing is even though he is so scared of them he is also

obsessed with them. He talks about Tommy and Chuckie characters and Kings

Island constantly. He loves them, but he's terrified of them. This showed me

today he just may be getting over the fear. After years of dealing with this

and trying to get him out of it I think it's worked or should I say I think

the diet has helped.
