Scared to the Point Of Random Naming!

Just have to tell this little ditty...

Last night, I carried Aria up to her room to change her diaper and get her ready for bed. We're in the habit of using a small blow-dryer on her before we put a new diaper on. I flipped the switch on the dryer but got nothing. After toggling it back and forth for a moment, I decided to check to see if it was plugged in. Sure enough, the socket was being used by the monitor. I unplugged that and popped the dryer back in. Immediately, the dryer kicked in on high speed. I quickly stood back up to find Aria throwing it down and jumping back from it. I quickly turned it off, grabbed her and hugged her. She was SCREAMING! For some reason, she looked at me and as fast as she could through her tears, she started naming parts of my face: ...eyeearmouthnosecheek...*sob*...hairchinteeth... then buried her head in myshoulder and continued to sob. I've NEVER seen her that scared. It was so sad yet so funny. I think she was trying to forget the dryer as fast as she could by thinking of other things. It must have worked. We've been back to the changing table/blow dryer a few times since and not a whimper. I'm going to try that next time I'm angry/scared/bored/annoyed...hairchinmouthteetheyenoseearcheek...

Late snowfall gave us a chance to build Aria's first snowman. He was gone by the next day.
