Very Quick Aulancraphobia Update!

I briefly mentioned in THIS post that The Skink had an irrational fear of bagpipes (code name: Aulancraphobia). This phobia was most unhelpful at the recent St. Patrick's Day parade where she turned into a pile of quivering goo in my lap whenever the bagpipe groups came by.

But... The Skink came up with a plan! I have an educational App on my iPhone called "SoundTouch." It has all sorts of pictures of everything from animals to vehicles to musical instruments and when touched, the child can listen to the sound.

Well - for the past few days, The Skink has been taking part in self-assigned immersion therapy. Yup - my brilliant little girl has taken the bull by the horns and made herself look at and listen to bagpipes over and over and over on my iPhone!

I daresay that at next year's St. Patrick's Day parade, she'll be the one yelling, "Bring on the bagpipes!" which will leave my lap open for my older daughter who doesn't handle anything loud well...

We'll just take it one phobia at a time!
