Firetruck Fun and a New Nick Name
We went to a fun birthday party this week where the local fire department was kind enough to bring a couple of their shiny engines over and talk to the kids about their work and explore let them the interesting trucks. They could see all the tools and hoses; they could sit inside and pretend to drive; they could even try on a real fireman's uniform. Bekah soaked up everything the firemen had to teach her about their neat equipment and important job. Loyd was a bit overwhelmed by the large size of their trucks and wasn't quite sure what to do. He did know he didn't want to climb inside one though. Xavier just coolly sat back and soaked up the experience. Thank you fire department for letting us explore your neat fire engines!
On a more important note, we have a child with an official nick name now! That's right. We can now call Xavier, "Waffle." It fits him perfectly. He enjoys this breakfast food, he is sweet and often sticky, and has been known to smell a bit like syrup. But most of all, he got his name through a funny story. We were watching a movie together as a family this week when Xavier came to sit next to Loyd and I on the couch. Upon his arrive Loyd pleaded, "Mom! Move Xavier. He smells Waffle!"
