Yesterday was the Fourth of July and we celebrated it with the usual array of firecrackers, BBQ & beer. The neighborhood block party was a blast. All the kids had a blast jumping in the bounce house, eating way too many American flag decorated cupcakes and launching their own safe & sane firecrackers. Even little Gabrielle was in awe of the firecrakers, clapping her hands, laughing and pointing every time they went off. When all the festivities had died down and I was getting Nolan ready for bed I realized that I had not explained to Nolan what the 4th of July is truly all about. So after I explained it to him he went into a full fledged meltdown ... and I quote, " Noooooooooo! I want England to be in charge of America! I want England to be in charge of the world!" Sweetheart, they tried ... they really tried. He was inconsolible and literally cried himself to sleep. My poor little Englishman.
