Dinosaur

Today we discovered something new about our Harlow Boy...



 He's scared of dinosaurs!!


The story of how this came about:

Nathan was watching Harlow during Priesthood/Young Men's. they were all in the overflow for their class and one of the boys found some plastic toy dinosaurs that had been on the ground. Nathan and another leader were sitting with their ankle propped up on their other knee. They picked up the toys and put one on each of their foot, the one being propped - not for any particular reason. And started listening to the lesson. Well Nathan noticed Harlow becoming really tense and he looked down to see a Horrified look on Harlow's face. His whole body was tense and his hands started shaking. Haha

So then, of course, Nathan started experimenting with the toy and his scared little boy.

The funny thing is that we've never watched any scary movies with him, he's never seen or played with a toy like that, Nathan didn't introduce the toy to him in a scary way. No exposure to this toy, no pre-fear was there...so where did this fear come from? Where does fear, in general, come from?!
