My daughter managed to stay up for them, I was totally impressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907931 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 11:55:08 +0000 Andrea 907931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: weird!

DD asleep at 7:30, fireworks started at 9:45. DD slept right through, even though the fireworks are really close to our house. We could sort of see them through the trees from our living room window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907782 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 10:42:03 +0000 stargal 907782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we left right before they started ( I knew he wouldn't handle th fireworks well, he hates, hates, hates loud noises) and he fell asleep on the way home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907480 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 09:06:30 +0000 Andrea 907480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I saw your videos.

Also, luckily, none of our neighbors set off any anyways! We have some younger neighbors so I was a bit worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907433 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 08:41:20 +0000 regberadaisy 907433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hellz no. Fireworks don't start here till closer to 10pm. By the time we fight traffic to get home and she has to be up by 7 am the latest ?

We were driving home from my IL's and accidentally ended up driving like right of the ballpark they were being set off from....front and center view! E was awake, and may have seen some when we turned, but little dude didn't care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907126 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:31:35 +0000 Mrs. Twine 907126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lorelei is zonked.

She's so hardcore! Bawahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907077 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:34:15 +0000 MamaMoose 907077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She went to sleep at 7 but woke up about thirty minutes ago from the noise. She's currently back to sleep on top of me until they stop and I'll put her back down and go to bed myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907073 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:29:59 +0000 78h2o 907073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was awake, but we were at a friends' house and we could barely see the fireworks. She did great though - I shifted all of her naps a bit later and she was never fussy. She fell asleep as soon as we got home (9:45 - waaay past her bedtime) and she's been sleeping through the neighbors' shenanigans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907072 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:29:25 +0000 Springtime 907072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO went to bed at 7:30 but has already woke up once because they are so loud! Our entire neighborhood is popping them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907071 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:29:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 907071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They haven't started yet! It's 9:30 here. He's asleep but I might wake him up to watch them because they're right outside our apartment. Undecided! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-los-awake-for-the-fireworks#post-907046 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 20:58:43 +0000 Andrea 907046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were asleep by 7 and the fireworks started at 9:15. We live really close to where they set them off so our house shakes. Glad they both slept through! </p>
