Silver Lining

Even in moments that may seem stressful, you can find the silver lining or cloud in our case. .  .literally.  Last night, we had pretty severe thunderstorms.  Noah woke up crying because he is scared of thunder and Aiden doesn't know the difference in a Tornado Warning and a real Tornado, so he was scared also.  Needless, to say I ended up with both boys bed with me and we were up for a little bit, until the storms calmed. 

Yes, I am tired today and yes, I really really wanted to sleep last night but I wouldn't trade those moments for anything simply because I take comfort in the fact that our boys came to us when they were scared and wanted comforting.  They knew they could depend on us to take care of them.  It's in these moments of craziness, that I can look at their sweet faces and realize that we must be doing something right.  I can only hope that when they're adults they will know that they can still come to us when they're scared and we'll still hold them tight.
