"Scared...Scared of Chuck E Cheese"

Lately Allie is REALLY big into saying that she's 'scared' of stuff. When it began, she would say she was 'scared' when she really WAS scared of something, but now she says it all the time just to be cute. She'll tell me she's scared of daddy, millie, etc. We've been to Chuck E. Cheese a few times, and she loves going there. And every time, we go through the same routine. She always wants to see the 'real' Chuck E. She'll drive us crazy asking about him (one time she saw him walk into the men's restroom so now whenever we can't find him she'll say "Chuck E Cheese potty). But then when we DO see him, of course she freaks out and says "scared of chuck e cheese". So we walk away, she gets a little brave again, and the whole thing starts over. But it is some good, easy entertainment to take her there because she enjoys the rides. The day I took my camera, I didn't really get any good pictures. These don't do it justice because they look like she wasn't having fun, but she was.

patting Chuck.

i don't know why she was making this face, because she loves THIS Chuck E and isn't scared of him!
