The Fourth of July is a favorite holiday is our household! Bret has a love of fireworks and the Fourth has always meant a time to get together with family for him. We announced my pregnancy last Fourth as well and now we have Will here to celebrate with us!
Will & I made a Fourth of July craft to send to his grandparents & aunts and uncles. Yes, the flag isn't exactly correct, but this is how the military displays their flag; always flying in the wind toward victory!
The Fourth of July also always means a trip into Topeka to get together with the whole Dinkel family. With five brothers and sisters, Susie's family (plus their kids and their kids now!) is always a good time. William was quite the trooper! he had his solids like normal about 6pm, then was a social butterfly with all of the family. He nursed at 8pm and slept on me from 8:30-9:30pm, through the beginning of the fireworks. We went back outside and Will got to see some of the fireworks. He wasn't scared of the noise and was interested in all of the bright lights. This goes consistently with his always-alert attitude. The Fourth is Bret's favorite holiday and one day wasn't going to ruin our little guy (we hope!) so Bret shot off all his fireworks and we left about 10pm. Will slept on the way home and we treated putting him to bed like his normal dreamfeed. Here's hoping for back to normal routine tomorrow!
We bought Will's Fourth of July outfit last summer (the jumper; yes, I was still pregnant when we were planning what he would wear!). And it turned out wonderful!
