This year we finally gave up on bonfire night. No fireworks for us. The Child hates them. Well, she hates the noise. Past years have seen her screaming and making a huge fuss. Hats and earmuffs don’t help either. And so today we are at home. Listening to all the lovely fireworks outside. She keeps yelling at them to shut up, while I think we may as well have gone to see some. And they are very pretty. She said as much when we saw some on the way home from Sainsbury’s. For those wondering, we did a late teatime shop so it was dark.
The bangs are easing off a bit now though, so there is less shouting coming from the living room. At times like this I do wish she wasn’t so sensitive to loud sounds. It can make some things quite problematic. Like travelling by train. She still won’t get too close to trains because of the noise. So, fireworks, not so joyful it seems. Not when you’re a noise sensitive six year old anyway. Joy.
