BLAST FROM THE PAST….

During the first year of his life, Emerson developed an all-encompassing fear of the vacuum cleaner. He wouldn't go anywhere near it when we were vacuuming. He would even avoid it if it were simply out but not on. Well, on Thanksgiving Day of 2009, Emerson reconciled with the vacuum cleaner. He came down the stairs, noticed the vacuum cleaner standing behind the couch, walked over to it, and gave it a big hug. And they have been friends ever since.
