Fireworks Fanatic
We took Madeleine to a couple of firework shows before the 4th of July. The first one was at the end of June and we were a couple miles away from the show so there was no sound. The second one, we were still quite a ways away and she could hardly see anything and there was only a little bit of sound. We knew we would be pretty close to the show on the 4th and I was pretty sure she would hate every second of it. Those things can get loud. We were a little worried she would be afraid of the noise.
Nope.
Not this kid. She LOVED it. She squealed and laughed and pointed and clapped and thought it was just great. Absolutely my kid. It made the fireworks all that more fun to see her enjoy them. It's funny how everything is new when viewing it with the eyes of a child. That was the most fun I'd had watching fireworks on the 4th of July in my adult life. Which isn't saying much since it was probably the first 4th of July fireworks show I'd been able to drag my husband to in probably a decade.
(So the picture thing is new. Dan installed this way awesome picture-thinger for the site that works a littler differently. He hates the animated pictures I've been using so insists I do it this way for multiple pictures. You can click on each of the little pictures to make it bigger - but that would be silly. Click on one and then just click on the enlarged picture and viola! It goes to the next picture for you. We'll be using this from now on as opposed to the animated gifs. Even though I really like those annoying little buggers.)
