Fireman Will!

Sometimes, the local firemen do practice drills in the park at the end of our street. It's very exciting for us! This week, they came twice! Today, they did the big water hose over the park which was very exciting for Will. Will is crazy about firemen lately!

Today, when we got home from swimming, there were 4 firetrucks & 2 ambulances at the park. We ran inside to grab his new fire gear (which I got used today from a neighbor/friend- thanks Noah- we're already putting your dress up clothes to good use!) & I made his milk & then we went to the park for milk time just before his nap. The boots obviously don't stay on him unless he is sitting down - which was a bit frustrating for him. In fact, it was difficult for me to watch him be frustrated with his feet - he did not want to wear his zancos but he did want to wear his "fireman boots" and couldn't understand why he couldn't walk in them. I just held him while he cried & I told him I was sorry but that I would put them on his zancos for him. Hopefully, they'll fit his zancos tomorrow!

I happen to think the boots look so cute on the wrong feet! :)
He loves his old "fireman hat," new "fireman boots" & "fireman jacket."
Lately he has really started to enjoy "dress up!"

On Tuesday, there were 4 firetrucks & 1 ambulance & a mail truck at the end of our street at the park. Mr. Social gave the firemen "high fives" & told them "thank you."

ps- moms of boys (or girls) - the firemen told me that firestations are public buildings & so you can stop by anytime & they will show your kiddo all their "toys" (ie: trucks & tools!) Might be a fun rainy day activity!
And local friends- if you want a hat like Will's - they are free at the firestations!

Last week, Will actually went nearly an entire day without wearing a baseball hat. He became "Cowboy Will" for a day & wore his cowboy hat all day and said lots of "yee haws!" He also insisted on "riding a neigh, please, Mommy." Obviously, I don't have any "neighs" (horses) so I put him on Ruby (our golden retriever) for a ride. He loved it & I was laughing so hard I never did get a picture! Of course, his rides were short- it was kind of like riding a bucking bronco! I think Ruby enjoyed it too - she got rather excited!
(ps- I sewed that cute cowboy fabric on his shirt last week - yay for crafty projects!)

I just love having 2 handymen around the house. R had to work on our RO system last week so Will grabbed his Handy Manny tool set & got to work. I think I caught them hammering, using screwdrivers, using pliers, & even sawing. It was tough work on my boys!

Not every kid can get their foot stuck in such tight places.
What can I say? He's talented... or something.
