What do you all have planned for your baby and all the noise of the 4th? We have tried so hard to not show fear that Toto would sense when it thunders, when we turn the vacuum on, etc. She still almost jumps out of her skin when it thunders ... the vacuum on the other hand ... she would ride it if she could stay on!!
She thinks the vacuum is great fun ... and if I could teach her to push it, it
could be great fun ... at least for
one of us!!!
Patrick has his annual fireworks display all set and ready to go [he does this for my Mom because she enjoys it so much and for several years now her health has been so bad there isn't much she can enjoy outdoors ... so we do the cookout, fireworks, etc. as a prelude to her "Birthday week" which runs through the 8th!]! He expands it every year and I just pray that this year he and my son don't blow themselves up!!
Thank God they are very safety concious! Anyway ... for Toto I am going to hopefully have her worn out by the time the fireworks begin and I will tuck her into her carrier [that fits on the front of me] and we will just be snuggled up and hopefully it won't be too scarry for her!!
Any other suggestions??
