Don't fear the rooster

Recently, Robert has been going through a bit of an apprehensive stage. At the chiropractor the other day, he freaked out and started to cry when a stranger said hello and smiled at him. This is not the Robert we all know and love. For those of you who know him, you know Robert to be the most happy, smiley and social baby there ever was.

On Monday evening, we sat Robert down to watch Baby MacDonald ( an innovative and educational video from the Baby Einstein Company). When he saw a rooster puppet doing a 'cockadoodledoo', he practically jumped out of his skin! He cried and cried... he was terrified! We continued to watch the video and as other puppets came into view, Robert released even more fear and apprehension.

So, we have put the video away for now. We'll bring it back in a few months. For now, we'll stick with Baby Beethoven and Baby Bach.
