Come On Baby Light My Fire!

It is Fire Safety Week around the nation. Today we attended the local Touch A Truck where we were able to climb aboard fire trucks and see some fire fighters in action. Seth was in love!

My Jr. Fire Fighter "driving" a pumper truck.

Seth and Dad "driving to Minneapolis to put out a fire". Wow, that little guys imagination was in full swing today.

One of the fire demonstrations was an actual car fire. Pretty amazing to watch the window blow out as the heat kicked in!

As expected the fire fighters got the flames under control and saved the day. Heroes!

Since Fire Safety is a great topic for preschools we are doing an Emergency Unit the first two weeks of October for home preschool. Today's Touch A Truck was a great kick off event. We will do a practice fire drill, change the batteries in the fire alarms and make sure they work, talk about Stop, Drop, and Roll, etc. Here is a fun website to check out with your kids too: Sparky the Fire Dog.

Our spiritual theme for the month is God Protects Us backed up by 2 Thessalonians 3:3, "But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one." We are still working through friendship for our social and moral category and when it comes to emotional development; using your words when frustrated. Talk about huge!

A family that plays together stays together!
