Thunderstorm

We had a HUGE thunderstorm last night. It was really spectacular. It started probably around 2:15 a.m.; LT woke up scared of the thunder and came into our bed where he promptly fell asleep with his hands over his ears. He's been tolerating storms better than he used to but this was some LOUD thunder; I can hardly blame him. I went out on the couch (scary that my baby boy, that little boy who used to cuddle next to me like a comma and nurse, is now so big that there's no room for both his parents and himself in our double bed!) and was actually kept awake by the lightning and thunder. It rained, the power went out, it was all very exciting. C slept through it all until about 7 this morning, when it was either still going or had started up again. By this time T was up getting ready for work so I was back in the bed; it ended up being me and both little ones in there.
