4th of July

We didn't do much for the 4th this year. Chris was sweet enough to get up with the baby so I could sleep in so we didn't make it to the parade. The most concessions we made to the holiday were to dress Milo in a patriotic outfit and get sparklers for him to see. Milo and I went to lunch with his nanny and Chris stayed home to work on his masters degree (I will be so glad when that is over). We had a nice relaxing day though so I am pleased.

We sat Milo on a blanket in the grass to show him the sparklers and he really wanted to venture out beyond it but his hate of grass kept him stranded on his little blanket island.


Bailey went nuts snapping at the sparklers and Milo had a blast too. I am not sure if he enjoyed the sparklers more or watching Bailey try to attack them, either way he had fun. We were going to try to wait for dusk to light the sparklers but Milo was getting too tired so we just did it in the shade.
