While visiting Grandmother and Granddaddy, SylRafa had to traverse the front porch where a stray cat had decided to take up residence. They still don't like animals and have a strong fear of any that are closer than 5 feet away. (Which makes me wonder now if one ever attacked them while out with the nanny...). So, every time we came and went, they moved cautiously, scanning the porch for the cat. Screaming and tears ensued if the cat came bounding back to greet us or we couldn't sweep SylRafa in our arms as we went past. Sylvia often gave herself pep talks on our way in and out.
S: The cat won't bite Sylvia. The cat will bite mami, not Sylvia.
S: The cat won't eat Sylvia.
(Once, I shielded her from the cat, but he jumped over to greet Rafa and breached his 5ft safety ring)
S: Sylvia isn't scared of the cat. Rafa is scared of the cat.

Sylvia is too funny! Thanks for sharing. L is still pretty shy/scared of (real) animals too. But she loves them from afar.
I'm telling you. They are crackups. And they're not even trying! We can't wait until they start telling jokes.
