The boys are OBSESSED with fire trucks. So much so, that we have worn our fire hats every single day for a month. We only take them off for naps and bedtime...and even then...they must be within eye sight. They wear them to the store, to play dates, etc.
Figuring we should encourage their love of firetrucks, we came across a show called "Fireman Sam" on On Demand and starting watching it. BIG mistake. Each of the four episodes is only 11 minutes long and the boys insist on watching one after another - despite having seen them all 100 times. So that gives mommy about 9 minutes to do any task around the house before having to return to set up the next episode. Good times!
Today, we saw a firetruck on our way home from the store and the boys were SO excited. I was explaining to them how the firemen visit stores to make sure they are safe...just like we had watched on Fireman Sam. They were quiet for a moment, then Cole says in a very serious tone:
Cole: "Mom?"
Mom: "Yes?"
Cole: "Cole be a fireman."
Mom: "You want to be a fireman when you grow up?"
Cole: "Yes. Cole be a fireman."
So there you go! I've got two little firemen in the making. :)

My Dad is a retired firefighter. If you go by a station and ask them, they will give you a tour and let the boys climb on a truck and run the sirens! You just have to be aware if an alarm comes in to get out of the way...quickly. Such cute little guys.
Well you are the lucky one, my little boy the same age as your two - his twin is a girl - is is set on being a garbage man! LOL
