ear defenders

[oimissus]

bit of a long shot - would anyone have any ear defenders to fit a 2 year old that we could borrow for fireworks on Monday? Would of course come and pick up/drop off.

thanks!

To be honest, I don't think you really need them for a fireworks display. More for a concert or something like that.

well, I wasn't sure, but she wasn't happy about all the bangs going off yesterday - she isn't great with loud noises in general. They've got them quite cheap in B&Q so I think I'll try there.

My smallest have both been freaked out at firework displays... 5 yo now Ok but spent last year's in the car feeling gloomy with frightened baby. Definitely wished I'd had them.

Fair enough, guess different kids have different thresholds to what is comfortable for them. Mine haven't (so far...) been bothered.

we're going to risk going without, she watched the neighbours fireworks from her bedroom, admittedly behind glass, but I think once she could see what was causing the bangs she wasn't so bothered, and a lot of them made exciting wheeeee noises which she liked, and she was so bowled over by the whole thing that I'm hoping she'll be fine. It's a free display and not too far, so if she really hates it we can just come home!
