Happy Independence Day!
I was looking at this list of healthy tips for the Fourth of July and it occurred to me that all week long I’ve been crossing my fingers and hoping that all of the stupid fireworks don’t wake up the baby. I don’t know about where you live, but in Philadelphia the Independence day celebrations last for what seems like forever. More like a week than a day. And the kids in the neighborhood shoot off fireworks all week long, sometimes longer if they get shut down by the cops and have leftovers. I used to enjoy a good firework display, but now I just wish they were more quiet. Is that what happens when you become a parent?
When my neighbor’s teenage boy came home with a boatload of fireworks, rather than remind him of all of the Fourth of July safety tips my husband asked him nicely to make sure to set them off at the corner, not in front of the house. I hope he and all of the other kids who shouldn’t have their hands on fireworks in the first place set them off safely, don’t set fire to my house, and most importantly I hope that Sam sleeps through them.
May your baby sleep through the fireworks too. Happy Independence Day!
