Ella Dear,
There is a thunderstorm tonight. As I sat on the couch in the dim light with your daddy after you had already been tucked in your bed, I watched the flashes of light outside the window and wondered which rumble might wake you up. You are a heavy sleeper, but when there is a thunderstorm, it is sure to wake you. The thunder startles you when you are alone and you need a little snuggle and the comfort of your daddy or me to let you know you are safe. Once you finally awoke tonight as the storm moved in closer, I charged up the stairs at the sound of your whimper, and I must admit, I was happy you finally woke up because it gave me a chance to hold you close while you were sleepy and scratch your back which you are always willing to lie still for. You are my sweet girl and I love you. One day, you won't be afraid of thunderstorms anymore...you might even get a little excited at the sound of one just like your mommy! But until then, I don't mind you waking up in the night for a little bit of snuggling. I don't mind one bit.
All my love,
Mommy
