Cooper's Fear of Vacuums

For the longest time, Cooper has been afraid of vacuums. He would begin to cry as soon as he saw the vacuum (it didn't even have to be on for the crying to begin). Once I would turn on the vacuum he would have to be in my arms, which made vacuuming very difficult. Finally a couple of months ago, he decided he could sit on the couch (or bed) while I vacuumed, no crying, just watching intently. Last weekend Jeff vacuumed and when he was all done, Cooper wanted his turn. The vacuum was not on, but he did push it around for a few minutes, and when Jeff put it away, Cooper began to cry. :(
