Have a lo 3 1/2 here just this morning. He is obsessed with the wizard of oz. he is convinced that a torenado is going to come and take his house. I think his parents don't calm him down. Knowing dad he would say any rubbish. I have had enough already. I have discussed weather on and on all morning. I have shown on a map where Kansas is. Talked about safe rooms (my niece has one) and still he is going on and on and on about it. I love the talk ax he had been a selective mutism child but enough. He goes in an hour but I will have to talk to mum.

How about making a tornado in a bottle and showing him that they can be fun (I know they're not fun at all, but it might make him see them in a different light).

What a great idea. He is here on Thursday so gives me time to plan. Bet his nursery hadn't noticed.
