    your poor DD.

    our bins are tuesday mornings as well but DS absolutely LOVES the 'very big truck' & cried this morning after it had been & gone for 'more truck, i want the truck'. the second one usually comes right at nap time & he gets all excited....so i'm not a huge fan either - but for a different reason

    No, but he's terrified of other random things...the mower, the blender (but not the mixer), the robot vacuum, but not the handheld...

    DD1 is scared of the mower as well! She isn't scared of the blender but she always yells out "too much noise!" when we use it.

    Darc was similar. If we are going to make a noise we say loudly "I'm going to make a noise" and then depending on what random thing it is he usually covers his ears and goes into his room until it stops.

    Mine used to be until about 2 months ago. dh made an effort to get excited when it came along and the enthusiasm soon rolled over onto ds.
