Oh no!!! Not Grass...

My son has a terrible fear of grass. It is actually pretty hilarious...well I think it is. When you try to stand him in the grass he bends his legs and picks up his feet so you can't put him down and if you do get him down he stands on one leg or stands like a frozen statue. If you try and sit him in grass he is paralyzed and refuses to crawl because that would require touching the grass. Lastly, if you try to lay him in the grass instead of flipping over or sitting up he does ridiculous yoga type poses.


I don't know exactly what it is about the grass that offends him. If you pull it up and give him pieces of grass he is fine with it but touching the grass is off limits - even through shoes or clothes. Hopefully he will eventually get used to it...
