Fire Station Field Trip

On Tuesday, Arabella's class visited a fire station as part of their class theme of Safety.  There was such a difference in the kids from last year to this year - they went on a fire station field trip last year too - but this year they were more engaged and understood more about safety and what was being told to them.  It is amazing to see how much they grow and change in a year.  Arabella was very excited for the field trip and she wanted Max and I to stay, so we did.  I strapped him into the Ergo baby carrier and he slept on me the whole time.  It was great!  All the kids were excited to learn and to help the fireman get dressed.  One of my favorite things was when the firefighter showed the kids how he would look for them if there was ever a fire emergency - he would be fully dressed and crawling on the floor - it was great for them to see and understand, that way if there ever was an emergency, they wouldn't be scared of the firefighter.  All of the kids loved sitting in the fire truck and were excited to see the ladder go up too!
