when the wind blows

X survived his first HUGE storm today, without a single flinch. We had a tornado within 5 miles of us, Driving rain, hail, and lightning (with thunder). Then there was the storm sirens and the television screaming, a few power burps, and the dog whimpering and one of the cats running in circles with his tail the size of a bottle brush. Then i went to get some food for X, just in case we were in the basement for a long period of time, and managed to fall down the stairs do to the shock of the sound coming from the garage. I swear it sounded like the door had just been riped of and the car was being sucked out. Luckily i only managed to mangle one toe on my trip down to the basement. Then there was X. On his back in the middle of the basement floor, watching the dog and the cat and his dad run in circles, with the biggest grin on his face, and no care in the world. He is the cutest thing ever. Luckily the rain and hail and tornado passed without harming our house, But something happened in our neighborhood that brought out the cops and IFD and EMS. Right now, the streets are all clear and the boy is asleep with the wind still screaming outside. Hopefully this is the beginning of a long, no fear of storms, life.
