We had a great 4th or July, last night. We had a few friends over for a BBQ and fireworks. As I’ve always said… What a great way to celebrate independance. You eat food, drink and THEN set off fireworks.

Last Titus was really afraid of the fireworks. He cried the whole time and would not let Anna put him down. However, last night he put his chair right up to the front and the closest we’d allow him to be to the fireworks. After each firework he would stand up and cheer clapping his hands and then turn to me and say, “Mo daddy, mo.” while signing the word more. He was so excited for each and every firework. He was simply beside himself with happiness. He has the greatest little laugh and makes the cutest face when he is excited, like he was.

We did have one little mishap. The children were doing sparklers and somehow an ember dropped and got into Liana’s shoe. She was wearing crocs and it somehow got under her foot and gave her quite the little burn. It was a pretty bad burn, because those shoes are plastice (per se) and melted a little bit. The size of the burn is no more than 1/8th of an inch in diameter, but it really hurt her.

She is much better today and is begging to do more fireworks.

Oh and on an oddly related note. For some reason Titus slept through the night. I guess I need to do fireworks every night! YEA TODD!
