What Does Your Preschooler Think of Fireworks?
Sunday June 28, 2009
As much as my husband and I enjoy the 4th of July, it's always a low-key holiday in our house fireworks-wise. While we'd enjoy nothing more than checking out a local display, we often find ourselves plopped on our couch, watching the celebrations on TV.
Our kids, it seems, are not fans. They like the visuals, sure, but they just can't get past the noise. We aren't even asking them to sit in our front lawn as we set them off -- we'd just like to hit the beach, lake or fairgrounds and take it all in.
I'm curious to see how other little ones react to fireworks -- take our poll and leave a comment -- what are your plans for the 4th of July?

Ashley (age 5) loves them – and always has! My boys (age 1), went last year without any problems – one even slept through part of the display. We’ll see how this year goes for them….
