This post is related to my previous post. Kelsea’s still afraid of Jollibee the mascot. But she wasn’t afraid of Dora the Explorer mascot. What’s the difference? Is it because Dora is introduced as a human and Jollibee as a big big bee? I even requested the staff from from Jollibee if they can show Kelsea before the party starts that there’s a person inside the mascot. It was suggested by a friend. But the staff told us it’s not permitted. There will be no sense of excitement. Another friend suggested to let Kelsea pull Jollibee’s butt and make fun of it. But my baby big girl just wouldn’t take off her arms covering her eyes. We even told her to look and see her best friend Erin and cousin choco Charles having their pictures taken. But she still kept her eyes shut.
I wonder when she’ll overcome this fear. Do you have any tips or suggestions on how we can let her know that mascots are fun to watch? I also don’t know if she’s afraid of clowns. We haven’t shown her yet. But there was a time when we saw Ronald McDonald and she cried so hard because of fear. So I guess no clowns for her too (for now).
Erl, I don’t know what prompted Maia not to fear them anymore but these days she always looks forward to seeing Hetty and Jbee whenever we pass by the store. One time she kissed pa Jbee the mascot. Di ko lang alam though papano sya magrereact ke Ronald McDonald. Pero baka din sa medyo frequent na sya nakakakita ng mascot?
