Best Day Ever

Hi B,

Yesterday was the 4th of July - Your first 4th of July. We started our morning with you talking up a storm. You talked and talked all day long! We went up to the park by our house for their flag ceremony and breakfast and you were happy the entire time! You just watched and enjoyed.

Then we came home for a nap, which you barely slept but were still talking and enjoying yourself. We went to Grandpa Johns house and saw all our family there. Then we came home to nap again, which you made up for the lack of naps all day and slept for 2 1/2 hours. I was so suprised that you were so happy and talky all day without your regular naps. I just kept telling dad how surprised I was that you were so happy. You then went to the store with us and stayed up til 9. I got you to sleep and then we went up to the neighbors to enjoy fireworks. They woke you up immediately so I took you out of your stroller to watch. You had no interest in them but just sat on my lap and watched all the people. Then you fell asleep.

Just like that. Such a happy happy day for you. The best day you have ever had and I enjoyed every second of it with you! I was so happy and had such high hopes of happy days to come.

Then you woke up screaming today and have spent a good portion of today with blood curdling screams. So sad. Maybe we can try again tomorrow.

I love you! Happy 4th of July!

Love, Mom
