Finally, after 4 years of trying to get Cole to like the 4th of July, I have succeeded! In the past, he has hated the loud noises associated with fireworks, but this year, he decided he was no longer scared.
One day he told me he wanted to get fireworks, so we hurried and went to a fireworks tent and bought some. Thankfully he has a Mom who has shot off enough fireworks that I know which ones are loud and which ones are not.
On the 4th of July, we started with a tank battle and went from there. He couldn't get enough of them! He kept wanting to shoot more and more. We also shot some more off on the 5th of July. In fact, that day I even used them as an effective threat that if he didn't behave, he couldn't do any more that day.
Now, he can hardly wait until the 24th of July when he can shoot off some more!

I love that last year it could have been the threat "I'll make you do fireworks" and this year is so opposite. I guess he's all grown up now! Good thing you're having another one.
