Last night we celebrated Joshua’s birthday. He turns seven tomorrow! It was a great success all around and I am thankful because this week has been filled with new anxiety adventures with storms. Daniel became frightened of lightning and thunder the other day when we had a huge storm. The poor guy could not take his hands off his ears. He was sobbing which he does not do, he really dislikes crying so he tries to stop himself, but he was in so much pain from the sound and afraid that he could not stop himself. Ariel became frightened too when another storm rolled in the next evening.
I ended up holding both of them for a while until they fell asleep.
Joshua was fine! It is rather ironic since, Joshua is the one who has the most trouble with sudden sounds like lightning and thunder. Things that make you go hmm … This week I tried to take it easy so we all could recuperate from the two weeks prior full of all sorts of social chaos and funness. I knew that my anxiety levels would be high from that along with the anticipation of family coming over for Joshua’s birthday party. We decided to do it yesterday so my dad and step mom could come too.
