Grandad P, Daddy P and J spent
the day at the Duxford air show. Judging by the fact all three of them were
utterly exhausted (in that contented, happy kind of way) by Sunday evening, it
would seem that they all had a good time.
Daddy P took J’s ear protectors,
and this was the first event he’d had them for, so I was interested to know how
he got on with them. Obviously with it being an air show, I was thinking they
would be most needed by J for when he was around the aircraft in flight – but while
he did wear them a few times for that reason, the main success was in getting
him to use the public loo, since there were those ‘Blade’ style hand driers
which are quite loud and which always freak him out the most. Daddy P reported
once he put the ear defenders on, J was quite happy to go into the loo and use
it without worrying about the noise of the hand driers at all.
Grandad P got J a red aircraft
which he refused to let go of last night once he got home, it came upstairs and
joined J in bed to start with last night. I removed it before he fell asleep
but wasn’t allowed to move it too far away from him; it had to sit on the chest
of drawers where he could see it all night – and this morning he took it to
school with him for show and tell. In the playground before school he was quite
proudly showing it to all his classmates before school started.
J was quiet and cuddly last night
when they got home – it had been an early start and a long, busy day for them –
after eating some dinner I got his bath sorted out early and he was asleep in
bed by 8pm (which is really his ‘proper’ bedtime, but for a bath-night it’s
rare that he’s actually in bed by then, nevermind asleep) Both Daddy P and
Grandad P were asleep on the sofa early (Grandma P sent me a photo after I sent
one to her!) so I think a good day was enjoyed by them all.
Daddy P said that J’s behaviour
was really good overall, something which Grandad P had also said to Grandma P,
with only a couple of moments when he started to get carried away. I’m so
pleased that the three of them had the opportunity to do it. I’m hoping times
like that won’t be so few and far between now Daddy P and Grandad P have done
it once and it’s been fine, maybe it’ll encourage a few more days out for them!
So for the first test run of the
kids ear defenders, while it wasn’t so much the noise I’d anticipated that he’d
want to cut out, I think we can call them a success because they did cut out
noise that J wanted to, so that’s a plus – it stopped him bolting, which was my
main concern when he feels overwhelmed by noise, and that’s what I wanted. So
far, so good. Obviously now they’ll be part of our luggage when we go out, so
we can update as needed, but in my opinion so far, if you want a decent set of
ear defenders for kids, you could do worse than these. Ordering is
straightforward, product arrived promptly, in good condition (brand new /
boxed) with good packaging. Product is solid feeling (well made) good quality /
well-padded and comfortable / folds small. I would recommend these.
Peace N Quiet,
