Scaredy Cat

Steph and I are beginning to wonder if Carter is going to be a "scaredy cat". He has shown signs leading towards this ... Our youth group takes a little break from regular stuff and meets at a family's house during the summer who has a big pool. Carter and Steph come each week cause Carter loves to "fim" (of course, Carter code for swim). Now this family has an atypical yard for suburban OKC. They have a lot of mature trees that surround their pool and the occasional leaf or flowering bud falls in the pool. For the past two weeks, Carter has decided that he is deathly afraid of leaves and little purple flowers floating in the pool (outside the pool, they're okay). If one is about to touch him, or even in sight in the pool, he begins to yell until I am able to remove the monsterly item from his sight. there are lots of other things that seem to frighten him these days too. Hopefully this is just a phase, but looks like for now, at least, we've got a "scaredy cat".
