It's a different kind of fun!
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but holidays just aren’t the same when you have a baby.holidays, that is. Especially ones involving beer and fireworks. Babies and pyrotechnics don’t mix. So you might find yourself, like I did, sitting home alone with a baby on Independence Day, while the rest of your family is out enjoying the fireworks.
This one particular Fourth, I was feeling pretty sorry for myself as I sat there watching “The Lois Wilson Story: Love Is Not Enough,” a made-for-TV movie starring post-shoplifting Winona Ryder as the long-suffering wife of the guy who started Alcoholics Anonymous. I was either watching this because a) Winona was pretty compelling in the role, or b) I didn’t know how to work my in-laws’ remote. But since then, I’ve changed my thinking about babies and holidays.
My kids still aren’t old enough to stay awake for the fireworks, but we still have fun on the Fourth. Bring on the sparklers and Jello!
