Overcoming her fear!

See these rocks that MJ is holding? Well, they are fairly strong magnets that when you toss them up in the air, make noises as they rub up against each other and they have a fairly strong attraction so when you hold one and put the other close to it, it will move over to it. MJ has been absolutely terrified of these stones. DH would take pleasure in torturing MJ by bringing the stones out and trying to force her to hold one and then have it move her hand over to the other one. She would run to me in fear each time DH got them out and played with them (or any of the kids). Well, tonight Kay was playing with them and I didn't think anything of it until I went to check on the laundry and there was MJ sitting in the middle of the floor playing with them! You could tell she was a little tentative at first and she still blinks her eyes when they touch, but each time she would pull them apart and then put them back together and then she would clap her hands and get a big smile on her face. It was really cute to watch. I told her to go show them to her daddy so she went downstairs where he was and walked in carrying them with a big smile on her face! What a cutie!
