Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms used to not bother the kiddo, and during the day he does alright. However, now it seems he is more sensitive to them at night.  If they are really loud he curls into the fetal position with his hands over his ears and screams for one of us.    Tonight I made the classic mommy mistake of mentioning the impeding storm to him.  He became very upset and his hands went instantly to his ears :(  I offered my ear plugs but he doesn't like things in his ears... So we settled on his "ear protection" ear muffs.  Thankfully the storm went around us, and I just sent his dad to go check on his and remove his ear muffs.  Hopefully, he can sleep!
