A Big Storm

Last night we had a big storm come through with wind gusts up to 60 mph.  I sent Carter to bed as usual, but he was having a hard time falling asleep with the wind gusts.  Of course I was sick and just wanted some peace and quiet, but he kept coming out of his room telling me he couldn't sleep and asking to sleep in our bed.  Finally I gave in and told him I didn't care what bed he fell asleep in - as long as he fell asleep!  After about 2 minutes in our room he came out and said, "Actually, Mom, I just don't want to be alone."  My heart melted of course and I laid down with him in his bed until he fell asleep.
