4am - THUNDER!!

My girls aren't scared of many things, but they are scared of the sounds of thunder and heavy rain. I cringe whenever there is a thunder storm at night. It only means my sleep will be for sure interrupted. Well, a storm blew through here all day yesterday and last night. 4am on the dot - LOUD THUNDER - Amelia cries out. I went in her room and told her it was okay, asked her to keep it down not to wake up everyone else. She asked why isn't Ava crying? Well, right on cue, Ava yells for me. I went to get her and we all cuddled up in Amelia's little bed.

Ava talked the whole time and told me due to the rain, she couldn't go outside to play with Collin, she couldn't go to the party, or to Carolina house, oh yeah and Daddy couldn't go to work. The 3 of us were scrunched in that bed (while Dad & Drew slept) - Ava then had to tell me to get my head off of her neck. I was quite comfortable myself........ About 45 minutes later, no more thunder, so everyone went back to there beds. At 6am - Ava yells out - It stopped raining, we can go outside to play! Then THUMP!!! - Ava fell out of her crib. I knew she could climb into that crib, but I didn't think she was trying to climb out!!
