Fear of Cows: Boviphobia

We're sad to report that Caleb suffers from Boviphobia, or fear of cows. I'm not sure if this is a real term or not, so play along with me here.
Caleb has a book called "Noisy Farm" and each animal makes its own respective noise. We soon learned that he's totally ok with every animal... except for the cow. Although it might seem cruel, we video taped Caleb listening to the animal sounds so you can all see what I'm talking about! He has the same reaction every single time.
Since Lil' Toshiba still has internet issues we had to film it on my digital camera so the quality is a bit grainy... but I think you'll get the idea: Our boy does not like cows.
PS Don't forget to pause our blog music down below prior to watching the MAD COW VIDEO.

I don't know what is sadder, the fact that he cries or the fact that you taped it and put it on the internet!!! Poor Caleb, and don't worry you can enjoy your hamburgers knowing you are much higher on the food chain than those silly cows!

Oh!!! That is so sad/cute! Poor little buddy! We hope he will conquer his fear with the help of his loving mom and dad! Have a great weekend

And you are from Texas??? Home of cows. Something is just WRONG with that, huh? We all watched it. MAYBE he's just sad that the noises are over, eh? Bless his heart -- so pitiful.

That's too funny, and cute! Poor Caleb...his fear of cows will probably go away once he learns that eating them all would be the best way to stop them from making the moo-ing sound! :-)

SO wrong, but SO funny. Caleb is getting so big! I hope your week back to work goes well!

That is so funny. Maybe when Caleb gets bigger, Dr. Travis can take him to see some real cows that he might like better:)

LOL - Ella used to cry over something just like that - of course I failed to get video footage - but she would make the same sad face and just cry because she just didn't like it! SO glad you got that on tape!

HAHAHAHA!!! Oh my gosh, that is AWESOME!! Poor baby, but wow, that was too funny. I loved that he jumped at the sheep when he first heard it.

Don't worry, this too shall pass!
