"Funder... Scared!"

After an entire day of thunderstorms on Tuesday I was trying to put Isabel down to sleep. For the past week we have been working on her going to sleep in her bed by herself... and boy has it been a challenge. So, after all of my hard work I was extremely reluctant to put her in bed with me. But this is what I kept hearing from my sweet two year old daughter "Funder... scared!" How could I possibly leave her in there alone! I'm not quite sure how you teach a toddler that it's only thunder and she shouldn't be scared. I'm 30 years old and I'm still scared of thunderstorms at night.
