I can't believe that my little guy is 4. Once he was my little engineer and loved everything Train. In fact that was only a couple months ago. Then one day everything changed and he does not love trains anymore. Oh he still likes Trains but Firetrucks and all things Fireman have taken over his obsession. It all happened while watching a Sprout DVD on Netflix that had Thomas the Train on it and also this British Cartoon about Fireman Sam. Now he lives to be a Fireman like Fireman Sam. His birthday started by going to a Neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. He had fun there. But since that is Easter related I will add those pictures to my Easter post. After the egg hunt he played at the park for a little bit and we had breakfast there. After he was done playing we went to the store and then got lunch at McDonalds since he wanted Chicken nuggets for lunch. Once we got home I hurried and baked his cake and left it to cool while we headed over to a fun Fire Station that is made for kids to go on tours. Seriously this place has everything that a kid dreams a fire station should be. Well except the rescue bell that my son noticed was missing. But the kind Fireman that gave him a tour told him that they have the bell up high. They gave him his own Jr badge and then gave all the kids a sticker badge and a toy hat. It was very cute. Needless to say my son was in Heaven. After we finished the tour we played at the park on the Fire Station property. Grandma and Grandpa kindly offered to take us out for dinner but my son wanted to have a big dinner at home and you can't have a big dinner at a restaurant. That is a small dinner. So we had to stop at the store and pick up what he wanted to eat for dinner. Then Grandma and Grandpa met us at the house and we barbecued hot dogs and chicken skewers, cut up Watermelon and cheese, opened a bag of Cheetos and Kettle Chips Mesquite flavored and had Sunny D to drink. That is what he wanted. I stretch this boy everyday of the year I figure he can have one meal a year that he loves with nothing I have to make him try. Then we had cake that I quickly frosted while my husband cooked the meat. I consider that day a success and he was so happy. This boy melts my heart and drives me crazy daily and I have no idea what I would do with out him in my life. I hope he will always know how much I love him.
The border was supposed to be red but I didn't put enough red food coloring in it so it is pink. That is ok his favorite part was the Fireman Sam picture I laminated and stuck on top anyways.
Talking the Fireman's ear off asking every question he could think of. There are a lot of questions an aspiring 4 year Fireman can think of.
Touching the Fire Pole in shear Awe.
Picture in front of the Antique Firetruck on display. Apparently they will use it for parades every year.
Checking out the hats on display. These are hats this station has used over the years.
It is fun to see the progression.
