...the 3 year old is **finally** snoring!
All day long it was overcast. I kept thinking to myself "When is the rain going to come?". The answer-- tonight during bath time! Needless to say, when the thunder and lightening hit, Tyler was out of the tub in a flash. He (like many other kids) does not like storms.
What really got him out of the tub were the rain drops he could actually see-- also known as hail!Frank risked life and limb to go outside and grab some for Tyler to see. Here is Tyler playing with the hail. He was really interested in the fact that it was cold and icy (what can I say, the kids loves the ice!). Before Frank arrived with the hail, this was the position Tyler was in:
Poor guy! He was really freaked out!
He eventually braved the open air again when I tried to reassure him that putting on his jammies may make him feel warmer and safer. I am not sure that he believed me because when Frank went to the window to look outside, Tyler joined him, still minus the jammies:
Notice the wet on the back of Frank's shirt-- he was soaked when he made it back inside! Tyler was really fascinated by what was going on out there. He was brave enough to watch the lightening and listen to the thunder without diving back under our covers. Right now he is fast asleep. It only took LOUD Beethoven on the radio, a comforter (I guess he didn't realize summer starts Saturday!), and a lot more reassurance by his mommy to get him to relax!

Hope you guys don't get the monsoons that we had last week. Oye! That'll be a good drink of water for your veggies! Love the pics of Ty!
Aw, poor guy! I love that picture of him under the sheets. Doesn't it always seem like the storms start right at bedtime?
Hopefully you got a nice little dose of rain and not too much more! :)
Yes, that sure is scary stuff for the little ones! Tyler is prood that they are even super adorable when scared! In our house Spike is even more scared of storms than the kids. And how is it possible to have hail in June?!?!
The picture of him under the covers was just too precious!!! That's really cool that Frank went outside to get hail to show him. Maybe that will help it not seem so scary next time. :)
