We came through the 4th very well. Noise was not near as bad as some years. Bear doesn’t like it but does not get as upset as Karl did…a Benadryl, some of my T’s under his head (from the laundry basket…scent of Mama!) and he settled. Auggie was unphased…

I went right back to sleep after Bear settled and woke rested versus years past when I did not get near normal sleep and was tired and grumpy on the 5th. Ultimately, we did well and can enjoy the rest of the weekend!.
