Jacob has been traumatized. The storms. He has been emotionally tied to weather patterns. Every raindrop, grey cloud, or sound of thunder sends him into a fit of questions and panic.
Today when I picked him up he stated "I've been watching the weather channel and the wildfires in Arizona may lead to blackouts in Texas"... showing me he was even anxious about our upcoming trip to OK and TX.
His classmate who was hurt so badly during the tornadoes is having a homecoming party Saturday so we went to the toy store to find a gift. He also saw a segment on him while watching the weather channel. Jacob was not very involved in picking the toy out, but I know he was listening to every word between us and the staff at Learning Express.
He's been obsessing over seeing his classmate, even begging to go see him in the hospital.
On the drive home he tells me he had said a prayer to God that 2011 will stop being so terrifying.
