We loved your screaming in the Halloween movies. Here's a clip (the best screams are at the beginning).
But Caitlynn isn't running from Michael Myers (well, not yet at least). No, she's running scared of spiders. Any type of spiders - bigs ones, little ones, ones that talk -- scare her. Since we live in a rural area now, it seems our small house is overrun by these 8-legged creatures. I don't mind them and neither does Miles, but Caitlynn screams holy terror each time she sees one, which is nearly every day. I like them because they eat flies and bugs and they keep Miles entertained. I feel like they're on my side because I hate bugs. (I don't scream when I see bugs, but maybe I should start.)
So my role as mother has just been expanded to include "spider eliminator" and "Caitlynn calmer-downer" and even "explaining to the neighbors that it's a Daddy Long Legs causing the awful screaming not me."
