We took Monkey to the fireworks display last night. We hoped it would go better than it did when we took her when she was eighteen months old, she cried the whole time.
We parked across the street and sat on the tailgate. We had to wake her up, but she wasn’t crabby, she was excited. The fireworks started and her mouth was wide open. She said “Fireworks show, they are so pretty” and “They are beautiful.” She told us what color the fireworks were and clapped her hands. When it was over she didn’t want to leave and of course she fell asleep on the way home. She woke up at three this morning to go potty and said “The fireworks were so pretty at the fireworks show.” She had to call my mom this morning and tell her all about it, fortunately for my mom she waited until about nine her time! I don’t think she would have appreciated us calling at three am!
I did worry a little about hubby who was a bit jumpy during the initial booms, I mean he’s only been back from Iraq seven months! All in all we had a good time. It’s so much fun to watch Monkey enjoy things and watch her form these early memories. I only regret not taking my camera to capture the look on her face and the beauty of the display. Oh well..
