Today after Rulon's nap he was having a hard time shaking the toddler blues... so we packed up and went to the park, for it is true blues medicine! Rulon played on the big playground stuff and was a FIREMAN putting out fires and yelling "Emergency, emergency!" He even had a little friend to give commands and fight fires with for a while. He kept calling her "that girl" (he'll learn, give him time) In the brief moment that he rested from his emergency responding he made a killer Steak angel - as in snow angel but in a movie a lion had a dream in which he was doing an angel in a bunch of cascading t-bone steaks. He is truely his fathers son!
And Mads thinks he is big enough to do anything he wants, he tried so hard to get up this ladder. Check out his serious face.
AND THEN what did we see pull into the distant parking lot???? TWO HUGE FIRE TRUCKS. We hurried over so Rulon could see them close up and then it got even better...
...the fire fighters came over and shook his hand , turned on the flashing lights and let him sit in the driver's seat and "drive" the fire truck. 7th heaven I tell ya, what a good day it turned out to be! Thank goodness we didn't just stay home with the blues.
