Will you let your 3 year old stay up for fireworks?

[tennisgal]

Are you letting your 3yo stay up for fireworks this weekend?

[steph196]

Yes!! She has for the past 2 years already.

[jnoellee]

This will be the first year I think it'll work! I plan on taking all of them to see the firework show that starts shortly after 9 then coming home for bedtime.

[AndyCohen]

I voted yes because I would if they were on the west side, but they're on the east side again so no fireworks for us

[Deleted]

Yes and he did the past two years. It's one of my favorite holidays. Not sure how Amelia will do though

[laurensmomma]

I voted maybe, because it will depend on how she does.

[breezy8407]

Nope. Maybe next year. Staying up past 8:30 has been a disaster for us and leads into terror the next day, too. We light a few sparklers and other legal fireworks before bed for them.

[Deleted]

Yeah I think we will try. He doesn't fall asleep until 11:00 some nights anyway.

[silverjm]

We're going to give it a shot. We can watch right from my parents house on the lake. I'm going to put him in jammies and let him stay out to watch. He may crash out before they start, and we can just put him in bed, but I'm hoping he gets to see them. I think he'll get a big kick out of it.

[dixeedeluxe]

Yes. She's super good about telling us when she needs to go to bed, so if she asks, I'll take her to bed. No bigs.

[honeybee503]

Maybe. I'd like to, but the show is at 9:30. I'm more nervous about Nolan staying up.

[katfco]

Special fireflake: we're not going anywhere this year, but we did last year, so if we were going anywhere, I would.

[skwcm80]

Yep! They can sleep in on Sunday.

[TrudyCampbell]

Not this year.

[PatBenatar]

We tried this last year. She saw all of 2 fireworks and wanted to go to bed lol. Luckily we can see the fireworks display from our back deck.

We'll try again this year!

[devonpow]

No - they don't start until so late here and actually going to the esplanade to watch is madness that would be impossible to deal with. Henry has actually never stayed up for them and he's 8! He had tried to stay up for a few years but always falls asleep. We try to wake him when it's time and it's a no go, lol.

[jg183]

Ours start at 10. He will probably be scared so I doubt it

[Deleted]

We haven't so far but depending on how she does this year we will let her if she's having fun.

[playswithsquirrels]

We will! They love watching fireworks and it's only for one night.

[monkeybabe]

I put yes, because Zoe has no problem staying up late, but there will probably be no fireworks here this year. There's a burn ban that includes fireworks in effect right now.

[LiveLoveLearn]

Yes, we all will be out on the boat so they will both have to stay up. The advantage that we'll be east is it won't seem so late.

[vthokie]

We're debating whether we'll go downtown for the city fireworks. That may be too late. But people in our neighborhood always set off some good ones, and she stayed up for those last year. She spent the whole last week not going to bed until around 11. She can hang

[shevacc]

Ours start at 10:30 and last year she was scared of Disneyland's fireworks so we'll probably close the windows and avoid again this year.

Same here. She usually can stay up until 10 with no issue but will depend if she takes a nap or not.

[dbe100408]

Yes, absolutely. We usually do two fireworks shows over the 4th, but with it being on Saturday this year, plans may change. It's just a couple of nights.

[kkfeb04]

You assume they have an early bedtime....

[thedahliharpa]

Yes, we did last year as well.

[carawestt]

Maybe, depending on when they start.

[kandrze1]

Probably not. We're usually in the car driving home when the fireworks go off. If she behaved long enough we'd stay.

[raynes]

Ours our Wednesday because Canada, but I think yes. The city is doing a big show so I think we'll go down. On days he naps he's usually awake until nearly 10 anyway. Violet, however, is another story. I'm not sure how well that will go.
