We have a high school football stadium that shoots cannons when they score. They have never woken up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223298 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:33:54 +0000 Truth Bombs 2223298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm always worried they will wake her but they never have. She has slept in the house while fireworks were going off in the cult de sac right outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223295 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 19:27:06 +0000 Mae 2223295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year they did not wake her up because she was a pretty sound sleeper at that point. This year I expect they will wake her up. I'm not that concerned about the city fireworks because they shouldn't be THAT loud and they'll be over early-ish..... but the assholes in our neighborhood who shoot off illegal fireworks in the suburbs until all hours? Arghh... I am pissed before it has even happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223255 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 18:25:10 +0000 sapphire 2223255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm nervous about this. Some fireworks went off near our house last night and it woke DH and I up. LO did ok but it was only for a couple of minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223220 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:23:17 +0000 msplatypus 2223220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! I hope low is the same, DH pointed out she slept through a mariachi band playing in the back yard the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223157 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:17:25 +0000 wonderstruck 2223157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, and we live in an area where people shoot off full-size ones and are just ridiculous in general. I've been woken up in the middle of the night by ridiculously loud ones many times, and somehow the kids never stir. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223150 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:15:35 +0000 snowjewelz 2223150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've heard some fireworks in the distance this week but our white noise is on pretty loud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223137 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:08:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2223137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We turned the white noise up a little extra loud if we knew fire works were coming, but like others, once she is asleep the first few hours she's usually out. </p> <p>My bigger problem was our dog- he's terrified of them, so would bark like crazy every time some idiot set one off. I live in a city and people still feel the need to set them off on the street. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223136 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:07:39 +0000 .twist. 2223136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty concerned about fireworks and thunder with a sleeping baby, but actually, with his little noise machine, nothing really seems to wake him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223133 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:05:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2223133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was a concern for us at our old house. Honestly, once she was asleep, she slept hard. We had a white noise machine on as well to help diffuse the sound of the fireworks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223124 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 15:59:03 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2223124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once he's asleep, there isn't much that wakes him up at night. He is terrified of up close fireworks though. So sometimes, that prevents him from falling asleep if they've started before he's fallen asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fireworks-1#post-2223117 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 15:52:24 +0000 msplatypus 2223117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm terrified the fireworks are going to wake up lo. Did this happen to anyone. We also live in a town that is still a town but is also rural so people like to shoot guns :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905751 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 20:37:37 +0000 78h2o 905751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping she'll take a late nap... If that works, then we may take her in the stroller to watch them from a distance. I'll have to see how she's doing. Loud noises don't seem to bother her and she's pretty adaptable, so she might enjoy it. If she's tired or scared that we'll go home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905683 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 20:17:17 +0000 jmarionsmith 905683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are going to try. we are ok with letting lo miss his bedtime for special occasions. what's one or two nights in the grand scheme of things? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905627 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:57:14 +0000 stargal 905627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope we tried testing the waters the other night and he was hysterical from the noise. Poor baby :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905610 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:53:38 +0000 mediagirl 905610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, it's past her bedtime. I don't think she would have a problem with them, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905567 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:45:59 +0000 MrsF 905567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope :( too late and too loud. Hopefully some day soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905545 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 19:39:32 +0000 BananaPancakes 905545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are staying at my in laws lake house, and a bunch of houses on the lake do huge displays. We always sit on the beach or go out in the boat and watch with all the neighbors, so we'll keep him up for it since it'll be loud anyways. I hope he likes it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905296 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:09:48 +0000 heffalump 905296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going to try it. They're an hour after her bed time so it just depends. And I'm not a firework lover, LO takes after me with that kind of stuff, so I'm not counting on her liking them. We'll be in the back where we can get out quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905292 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 18:06:17 +0000 T-Mom 905292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not this year. DD hates loud noises. We took her to a kids concert at the symphony and she covered her ears the whole time :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905248 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 17:41:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 905248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to! I'm not sure where they are or where we'll go yet though... I think he would like them and though it's past bedtime - I think he would love to stay up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-905053 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:33:34 +0000 brownie 905053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, to bring this thread back. He is 2 and he LOVES fireworks. "Boom Boom Boom". He first saw them last 4th of July from quite a distance and he was 1 year old. Then September at around 1 1/2 years old. It was the disney fireworks but from a few blocks away. He saw them again at a distance in November. Then in January we took him inside for the fireworks. He was in heaven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890996 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:40:56 +0000 MrsRoo 890996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's too young to go see them, but we have a view from the water behind our house, so she will see them without the crowds and noise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890990 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:39:26 +0000 mrsjyw 890990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he hates big noises and i think he's too young this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890985 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:38:45 +0000 GrapeCrush 890985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. I've never really cared for fireworks anyways so who knows when we'll take him for the first time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890141 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:15:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 890141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think we might. they start at 9pm, and if we let olive nap late, she should be ok to stay up past her bedtime. this will be charlie's first time seeing them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890129 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:13:24 +0000 Adira 890129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - he's only 4 months, so he'll be going to bed at 7:30 like always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890069 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:02:42 +0000 plantains 890069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe. We have a roof deck so we might take her with us to watch from there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-890063 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:01:22 +0000 chopsuey 890063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No fireworks this year. Maybe next year.. or maybe not until she's 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-taking-lo-to-watch-the-fireworks#post-885293 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:00:00 +0000 regberadaisy 885293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we will be. She's only 14 months so not only will it be past her bedtime but also too loud for her I think. Maybe next year?</p> <p>Will you be watching the fireworks with LO? </p>
