It had been thundering this evening and mason pointed out that he heard thunder and "angels bowling". We did our normal bedtime routine and he went to bed in his crib. About 5 minutes later a huge, loud, long thunder happened. I was downstairs and actually was startled bythe thunder. Then I heard mason crying and calling "momma".
I went into his room and he practically jumped into my arms and wrapped his arms around me tight. I asked him what was wrong and he said "mommy I hear thunder and angels bowling. I sleep in mommys bed". My heart melted. I asked him if he was scared and he replied "yes, sleep in mommys bed".
Mason really hasn't ever slept in our bed and usually thunder doesn't bother him, but recently he has started taking notice of when rooms are dark or it's dark outside. He will say "it's dark out there; turn light on." So I am not totally surprised he got scared.
Anyways, mason cuddled in our bed and insisted I stay with him. When we heard more thunder he would look at me and say "it's just angels bowling mommy. They have wings and fly high up in the sky. The angels are talking to me." And I replied that its ok to be scared but that he was safe and ok. Finally I was holding Christopher and we heard another bout of thunder and mason stated "mason not scared, Christopher not scared, mommy not scared.... It's just angels bowling".
So tonight was just one of those special moments when I had mason cuddling and snuggling while I was holding Christopher and I couldn't feel more lucky and happy.
Love this!
