Just provide some explosions in the sky. "Mama! Look how big!" "Daddy! Look how big!" after just about every blast - he seemed fixated on size and no, I'm not going to say anything about that. "They're very loud!" "Look how big!" "That one is GREEN!" I love seeing him so excited.
That lasted about five minutes and then we spent a bit of time wandering around the food table until the finale but by that time he was trying to scam a sparkler from the older kids. Alas, no success although Ben spent a good long time trying to light an already-spent sparkler. Somehow or other I think it was for the best that Sam didn't get to play with those as that's just an invitation for a burning stick in the eye.
Overall I'd have to say it was worth having a overtired boy wired on juice and cookies just to get to see his reaction.
Oh, and on the way to Paul and Judy's to watch the fireworks Sam told us "Judy is a very very nice girl" so there you have it. Sam has spoken. To reach Judy just call 1-800-Nice Girl..
