scaredy cat

caleb is a scaredy cat.

today we bought him a motorized toothbrush because it was on sale at longs. dave tried to brush his teeth with it tonight...and he cried. screamed and cried and held on tight cuz he was so scared.

when the vacuum cleaner goes on, he gets scared. he used to run and cry. now he sits on the couch and starts getting all anxious when i get near him.

when the blow dryer goes on, he gets scared. he doesn't cry, but will run away if i blow him with it.

he's obviously scared of the doctor and dentist. screams bloody murder even when they aren't doing anything.

he's scared of the car wash. cries and gets all nutts when we go through it.

i'm not sure how to relieve his fears....he's just an overall emotionally charged guy...very excitable, stubborn, and fearful. and since he's so damn loud, his emotional outbursts are that much more vivid.

of course, his happy times are that much more happy too, though. not an even-keeled kind of guy. lol. just like his mommy.
