Fireworks (age 1)

Tonight was bonfire night and rainbow and her parents were heading to a fireworks display. This was rainbows first time seeing fireworks and her parents were really interested to see how she was going to react to them. It was a cold night so they we're getting themselves and rainbow wrapped up.


Windy whistles: honey do we have everything?


Bow hothoof: let's see: coats, hat, scarf and gloves. A flask each of tea and a camera.


Windy whistles: what about for dashie?


Bow hothoof: *checks the baby bag* bottle, dummy, spare nappies, pyjamas, blanket and teddy bear. Is that everything?


Windy whistles: I believe it is, now let's go!


*at the firework display*


The family had found a good place to sit and watch the fireworks. Rainbow had started to become fussy, so bow took her out of her push chair just before the display started.


Bow hothoof: *sweetly* there you go dashie, you can see them now.


The fireworks started and it all seemed to be going ok. Until the noises started to which rainbow started crying and shaking in her fathers arms. Bow kept trying to rock and shush her but with no avail.


Windy whistles: *looks at bow* I think it's time we head home.


Bow hothoof: *keeps shushing rainbow* yeah I think you're right.


*back at the car*


Rainbow was still sobbing as windy was changing her into her pyjamas they had bought with them. It was already past rainbows bed time so it was easier to get her changed whilst they were out. This way they could put her straight to bed, although they did wonder if she would go down straight away.


Bow hothoof: I think someone is going to sleeping with her mummy and daddy tonight?


Windy whistles: *sighs and strokes rainbows hair* yeah I think so too.


*back home*


Bow carried rainbow upstairs and into his and windy's bedroom and got her set on the bed. (The bed is big enough for all 3 of them) as soon as he put her down she started screaming again, so he picked her and started gently rocking her I his arms.


Bow hothoof: shhh baby it's alright, the horrible noise is gone.


Windy then came in with a warm bottle of milk and handed it over to bow.


Windy whistles: here. See if she'll take this.


Bow took the bottle and held up to rainbows mouth, She stopped sobbing as she smelled the milk. She began to drink it as bow continued to rock her in his arms hoping this would get her to sleep. Eventually she did doze off, so after bow winded her he replaced the bottle with her dummy and laid her down in the bed. He handed her blankie and then it was time for him and windy to go to sleep.


Windy whistles: well I don't think dashie was keen on the fireworks.


Bow hothoof: *looks sweetly at his sleeping daughter* yeah I don't think so either.
