Oh, what a sweet day it was! Will turned three - and I kept wondering how all this time had gone by so quickly. We got him "turn-out gear" to augment his current collection (of fireman boots, which are really puddle jumpers from Target, socks for his hands as "turn-out gear sock-gloves" and red plastic give-away firemen hats from the fire station). He was completely overwhelmed last night, and other than the hat didn't put any of it on. But then I came home today and he had been wearing his "turn-out gear" all morning. Off and on, off and on. For nap time we folded it carefully and put it on top of his dresser (because that's where firemen would put it). He also explained to me that he just used it to "put out 'tend fires." (That's 'pretend,' by the way.) Then he carefully told me about how he "just loved his turn-out gear, because it's what real firemen wear." Melt a mother's heart. I'm so glad we got him something he loves, and I'm so grateful for this boy!
