So, I am very scared of spiders, Not scared of other creepy crawlies, but I didn't want Sophie to be sacred of spiders, as i know its completely irrational. So We call them all Incy's. Three was a Spider in the bath when we went to do her bath last night, and she thought it was amazing, tried picking it up, was chasing it all about! I was crapping myself! it was huge!!! Anyway, I caught it and she was looking at it in the glass, started saying 'Mummy look, Incy goes( and then she started doing climbing with her arms)' then we saw some snails in the garden today, and she was picking them up and everything! I might get her a giant african land snail.

hahaha thats so cute at least she isnt scared!!

I wanted her to be not scared... not bloody friends with the spiders lol! She even made me buy her a giant halloween spider from tesco ( it was only £1 so i didnt mind) And for her nursery halloween party guess what costume she chose??? A spider!

I learned today (from my mum) that babies are only born with 2 natural fears (falling and loud noises) - anything else is learned behavior - from either parents/people or an incident

Apparently a baby could get a spider in their face very young...and that causes a phobia, yet as an adult they dont understand why they have the fear!

So maybe you got an Incy in the face as a baby?!

i'm gonna have to do this with benji...but i scream and cry when/if a spider comes near me...i HATE them...so he better not be picking them up...
bless her for being so brave

I dunno what happened, my mum was scared of them s maybe thats where i got it from, but im ok with catching them now!

Arrh so cute, i dont really like spiders get the dog to get them lol.

Char

i love them i refuse to kill any insect marc and my mum jump on the sofa like big girls,

i was 8 months pregnant fitting up some baby stuff when a spider ran out the box and yep them two jumped up while i picked it up i had to do it with my hands and let it run up my arm because i didnt have time to waddle run out to the kitchen to get a glass.

them two were just screaming

Me and Simon hate spiders but Libby LOVES them, and any creepy crawly! If she sees them in the house she gets sooo excited and tries to pick them up.

Recently we were in the garden and Libby found a big stripey, orangey spider on the slide - she managed to get it and it started climbing up her arm, over her tummy, in her hair and even her face!!!! All the time giggling and shouting 'it tickles!!'

So far she has picked up snails, slugs, ladybirds, daddy long legs, dead crab (this was her favourite and she wanted to bring it home), ants, beetles

Tylers exactly the same he looooooves bugs. but there are dangerous ones here so have to keep an eye on him all the time which is fine if you don't mind bugs but I hate them.

we call spiders incey too and we had one that had babies in our window... the other day he was playing with a millipede *yak* they nip and they secrete this yellow stinky stuff to stop themselves being eaten but he doesn't care - he made friends with it and said byeeeeee when we had to go to nusery...

hes had praying mantis' crawling over his head, ants spiders milipedes snails anything that moves!
