Cooper went to the 4th of July parade in the little town that I celebrated so many Independence days as a kid! He really enjoyed it and loved the tractors and the horses! The only issue that he had as far as sensory overload was when all the firetrucks decided to turn on their sirens at one time! Seriously, he had a mini-meltdown but my hubby and I took turns hanging back with him and helping him through it. He doesn't usually respond that way to auditory stuff but it was freaking loud!
He also loved the fact that all he had to do was wave and folks threw him candy! The kid has had about 4 lollipops in his 5.5 years of life and now we have enough lollipops to last us 10 years, lol. We ended the night with some neighbors and fireworks in our cul-de-sac...
It was a really fun day! Happy birthday, America! We love you and are proud to call you home!!
