We have had some pretty wild storms the past few nights and Ana has been terrified of the thunder. Since she is in a big girl bed she now comes into our room when she is scared. The first night she came in I went and laid in her bed for a few minutes and explained to her that the loud noise of thunder was when those big rain clouds all full of rain bumped into each other and made a loud noise.
She started giggling at that and told me those are just silly rain clouds and they are not scary at all!
She has still been scared and come in but I go put her back to bed and talk to her about those silly rain clouds and she gets to giggling and goes back to sleep. Emily got scared this morning and so Ana had to enlighten her as to the source of the sound. So darling.
They got into bed with each other instead of with me!
Too bad it was time to get up and get ready for church! waking up at 4am and not getting back to sleep is rough!
Oh, that is a sweet story. Little twins are so special at times.
ReplyDeleteI think that is so sweet, too. I used to tell the kids that all that thunder was God rearranging the furniture up there in heaven & that the lightning was the flash on God's camera while He was taking our pictures. Parents are creative writers, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I forgot to tell you that the last reply is from Granny. Sweet dreams, girls. Love you, Granny
