Tonight we did something I thought we'd never do...we woke up Benjamin at 8:45 this evening to take him to the fireworks. I guess I was being selfish as I absolutely love the Fourth of July, especially fireworks. We both knew that we could be shooting ourselves in the foot with this decision, but we decided to take the risk. Thankfully, it was so much fun! We went with Kim (Ben's Aunt) and Benjamin actually really loved it. He kept pointing and going "ah". He seemed shocked that we woke him up, but didn't fuss at all (highly unusual for him). The best part of all is that we laid him down in his crib upon our return, and he went right back to sleep. A miracle. Truly a miracle. It was a fun family day and the fireworks were so worth it. As Steven reminded me, today is truly a wonderful celebration of our country's independence. I am proud to live in this country, although I can't say I'm proud of all that we represent or all that we do. However, I do think we are so blessed to be free!
