A fun Collin story

So, last week Collin had a VERY traumatizing day!! It was a very cold, wet day so my aunt offered to pick Austin up from school. And, of course, he wanted to go back to her house to play. So, they came and got Collin. Well, my aunt's furnace was not working so she had her oven on and the door open to help keep the house warm. Because of this, the smoke alarm went off. Which meant Collin started screaming and crying!! He HATES loud noises. Well, later that night we went to Target to pick up a few things. While walking into the store, the alarm goes off! Collin runs right back out of the store crying and plugging his ears!! And if that isn't bad enough....that night, after the kids had gone to bed, we lit a fire in the fireplace. It got going pretty good and pretty fast and some smoke got in the house. Which made our smoke alarm go off. Poor Collin was a mess!! Crying and screaming!! The next morning I left for Idaho. Travis texted me to let me know that Collin had wet the bed. The poor thing was too scared to get out of bed to go potty!! The next day, Travis met his parents for lunch at McDonald's. Let me just point out that my father-in-law is an outdoorsy guy. He happened to have some ear muff things in his truck that he uses when shooting guns. With that said, Collin was refusing to eat his lunch because the fry machine at McDonald's was beeping. He kept his fingers in his ears, so he couldn't eat!! My father-in-law came up with the perfect solution:
How great is that?! He was able to eat his lunch without hearing ANY loud noises!! I love you Collin!!
