Last night we had quite a thunderstorm. I hadn’t really thought about it, but it was the first in a while and it totally took Sweet Pea by surprise. I remember Cutie Pie not liking storms, but not to the same degree. Poor Sweet Pea was so scared that he climbed into Hubby’s arms, was shaking, and refused to get down. He wouldn’t eat his dinner, drink his milk, nothing! He would, however, hug Hippo, but that was about it until almost an hour after the storm passed. I’m not sure if he finally calmed down or if the special cookie that Hubby brought home for him coaxed him to eat his dinner…
How do you calm your kiddies down during a storm?
Awww! Poor little thing! Storms are so hard. Mine have learned over time to just try and hide through them. I have taught them to watch the weather on about every electronic in the house (TV, computer and even the Wii let's you check the weather!) So they do that… and if there's no "rotation" they are usually okay. Even my second littlest. My littlest-littlest? Well..no amount of reasoning helps. Just lots of cuddles.
Take care!
