We took a chance and took the girls to fireworks. There were many reasons we shouldn't of, but we did it anyway. It was way past bedtime. Erin would need to eat during the show. Ella has always been afraid of fireworks....
But in an effort to overcome Ella's fear of loud noises, I thought it would be good to expose her to fireworks again. So we packed up and headed over to Shell Rock.
As we were waiting for the show to start, we watched people shooting off their own fireworks. Someone who parked next to us shot one off. Ella asked about 10 times:
"That not gonna happen again, right?"
We laughed thinking the show hadn't even started yet. Once the show started, Ella watched very carefully. She saw a huge one light up in the sky and asked, "That not gonna come bite my leg, right?"
She made it about 5 minutes into the show and fell asleep on Derek's shoulder. I think either her anxiety made her sleepy or she wasn't bothered by the fireworks anymore. Erin, however, stayed awake through the fireworks and the entire ride home!
