bugaphobia

Spring has finally arrived! Hurray! We are thrilled that we can spend hours upon hours outside in the fresh air. A bit of bugaphobia, however, threatens to ruin our fun. As of yesterday, Caroline has developed an overwhelming fear of those little gnats that peskily fly around any grassy area. Yes - they are pesky and unfortunately, are pretty much everywhere in our front and backyard. When one gets close to her, she lets out a blood-curdling scream, starts sobbing and pleads to be picked up. Ugh. So much for our outdoor adventures. Let's just hope this phobia is short-lived.
