ā”Thunderstormsā”
Imagineš
A thunderstorm is approaching town so I prepare the house so you won't be scared.
First I set you up in front of the t.v. with your stuffie and bottle so you can watch cartoons while I'm busy. šŗ
I gather a bunch of candles and a couple flashlights and bring them to the living room so I can keep the room lit if the power goes out. šÆ š¦
Next I get our paint and papers out so we have something to keep you busy so you don't notice the storm as much. šØ
I go to your room and pick up some of your favourite stuffies and bring them to the living room too so all your friends are there to comfort you. š»
Your security blanket is in my room from you sleeping with me due to a nightmare the night before. I pick up your blanky and bring it to the living room.
And finally I go to the kitchen and make your favourite snack.
I've finished bringing everything to the living room and you look at me with curiosity in your eyes. I smile and kneel down in front of you.
~"Hey pumpkin, it's starting to storm outside so I thought it would be lots of fun if we had a little party in the living room, doesn't that sound fun?" You smile and not
I pick up your stuffies one by one and place them closely around you while your favourite one is wrapped in your arms.
~"Some of your favourite stuffies to help keep you safe!" You nod playfully and squeeze your stuffie
I pick up your blanky and wrap it around you.
~"Your blanky to make your feel comfy" You giggle and wiggle around, I smile and pat your head
Your snack is on the coffee table.
~"I made you a yummy snack! Here you go little one" I hand you the small plate with your snack on it and you begin to pick at it
The storm starts to come down rather hard and you look at me with a worry filled look so I pull out my tablet and put on your playtime playlist I made. It soothes you
The lights start to flicker so I light the candles and place them around the room so the whole room has light and there aren't and scary dark parts of the room. Shortly after I lit the candles the power goes out. I have a sigh of relief that I lit the candles in time.
Lightening strikes and it pulls your attention to the window. You start to wimper, I kneel down in front of you and turn your head to me.
~"it's okay sweety, nothing can get you in here okay? Mommy's got you" I rub your cheeks with my thumbs and kiss your forehead. You nod and put your little hands on my cheeks, I smile and take your hands and look at you.
~"Mommy brought some paint, do you want to help me make pretty pictures for the fridge?" You smile and nod. I kiss your hands and put the paint and papers on the table.
You lean towards the table and start pouring paint on the paper.
We paint pictures and listen to music through the whole storm. I successfully kept you safe and sound through the storm. We were so busy making pictures and singing songs that you hardly noticed the storm.
