So Jamie took them to LL a couple weeks ago, and of course, as is the case on every LL trip now, they watched the "Fireman Show". It was a BIG DAY for Connor:
At the start, Captain Stern asks for a volunteer from the crowd to ring the bell that brings out the volunteer firemen/women. On this weekday during school season, apparently there were only a handful of kids. So when she asked for volunteers, Connor was emphatically raising his hand, and actually already starting to head down the stairs. Captain Stern went ahead and picked Connor.
So...Connor got to "ding the 'teers" as he describes it when telling anyone about it.
Of course, round out this greatest of shows with hi-5's from Vern (the nerdy fireman) as he runs through the crowd at the start, and then shake hands with Vern at the end of the show.
Fireman Update
Everything in Connor's world right now is fire-related. Some examples:
- points out all "hyrates" (fire hydrant) and "stinguishers" he sees around town/buildings
- re-enact the LegoLand fireman show at least a couple times a day at home
- any letter F he sees in any word - "F is for fireman"
- Scott Quinlan sent the kids a fireman coloring book - Connor sleeps with his.
- LOVE hearing about Scott's job, driving the ladder/tiller truck, the one with the dude that drives the back of the truck
- now has TWO sets of the same fireman PJs. This is so he can STILL wear them, even when Mommy is washing the other set
