Fireman in training!


Yesterday we were lucky enough to go check out the local Fire Station. Tristan LOVES firetrucks!! He was thrilled to be there!

October is Fire Safety Month so they were having an open house to educate people.

Tristan got to get in the fire trucks and pretend to drive to a fire. He thought it was the coolest thing ever.

We also got to see them spraying the hoses, but we got there too late to test it out ourselves.

Tristan was less than thrilled about Sparky the dog mascot but he wasn't scared of the firemen at all. He even got to stand on the front of an engine and have his picture taken with a fireman!!

Both boys came home with Jr Firefighter stickers, Smokey the Bear stickers and new fire hats. To see the rest of our pictures from the visit click here.

We also had Bonkos last night and after much deliberation on whether to go or not since last time BOTH boys were clingy and I didn't even get to play along with Tristan's social anxiety recently, we decided to give it a try and stocked up on Thomas tracks and trains and Grandma brought Monsters Inc to watch. He only had one break down but otherwise he was great!

We also took Griffin some cars to play with and Tristan is getting really good at counting. Usually he skips some or repeats some and counts them twice but last night he was counting all 9 cars no problem at all! He'll be playing Bonkos on his own in no time ;)
