Fireman Mattis

On the weekend we went to the Mount Pleasant Fire hall for there pancake breakfast, Mattis had a blast sitting in the Firetruck he was steering away like he was driving turn the wheel like a real pro



I am off the fire Daddy see you when I get back
If I move this what happens can i get it started


He likes cars and trucks and anything to do with them.  He is turning in to real boy.  It is amazing how they emanate to certain things or movies.  We don't even push it on him he just goes to it or notices them.

We just encourage him and let him discover things on his own he has a very inquisitive mind and picks up things quickly   He was telling me that the Firetruck was missing the key pointing to the keyhole.
