Firefighters!

Last night Cal wanted to play "firefighters," using his bed as the truck. To start, he quickly exclaimed that there was a fire and we needed to rush to the "truck." So, I rushed with Ben and sat in my "seat." Here's how the next 10 minutes or so played out.

1. "Wait, wait. I need my hat." (He proceeded to put on his bike helmut and Mommy had to tighten)

2. "We need some music." (He took a few minutes to turn on his CD player)

3. "Mommy, here's a map. Let's put it in our tool box so we don't get lost." (Selected a book, skimmed through the pages and shoved it into the storage drawer underneath his bed.)

4. After I asked, "Are we ready now? The fire is waiting." He said, "No, mommy. Not yet. First, we need to stop and get some gas."

I don't think we made the most efficient firefighters. We never made it out of the garage.
