ultimate frenemies

frenemies

Little E has a love/hate relationship with the vacuum cleaner

it’s the ultimate example of frenemies

when he was an even smaller, tiny babe, he enjoyed hearing the loud hums that came from the beastly dust buster

then, as he got chubbier, he FREAKED OUT every time he caught a glimpse of it.  like, crying hysterics over the monster (our house went un-vacuumed and dusty for a while until we figured out how to control his outbursts with “Wheels on the Bus”)

but even though he still pouts when it comes out of the back room, he has taken a great interest and curiosity to it

in fact, the other day, he started smiling and laughing once Adam set the roaring in motion

he will even go into the back room and play with it when we’re not looking

and then come back out and cry

yep. frenemies at their finest!

I thought maybe you might put a video giving us an example of what he does. Too funny. I know we should not laugh at our babies but sometimes you just can't help but smile and laugh at some of their outbursts.
