Yesterday was an amazing day that I hope to remember
forever.
Back in October, I attended an auction and won W a ride to
school on a fire truck. I finally
scheduled the special ride. When I
talked to the fire department I suggested they arrive at our house around 8:30
in order to get W to preschool by 9.
Well, they ended up arriving early – just after 8. Unfortunately, I missed their arrival because
A and I were dropping of a car at preschool so we’d have a way to get
home. BUT I was there to see W come out
of the house in his fire engine shirt and helmet to greet the fire fighters. He looked a little overwhelmed, but had a big
smile on his face. And the firemen were
incredibly kind. I’m so appreciative of
how sweet they were with W – showing him the tools, hoses, ladders, and letting
him climb on the truck. As we left our
house, they sounded the sirens and had the lights flashing. It was SO MUCH FUN. And I think the firemen enjoyed it too! When we arrived to preschool, the firemen
asked if they could walk W inside. Melt
my heart. Nothing makes me tear up like
seeing others show kindness to my boys.
The firemen told W that the other kids had to call him chief all day and
I’m pretty sure W was the coolest kid in school yesterday.
While W was at school, A and I took S for a long walk. It’s rare for S to get time alone with us and
the weather was beyond perfect (finally!).
Apparently S found us boring because he ended up falling asleep mid
walk. Or maybe he was just enjoying the
quiet – a very unusual occurrence. J
After picking W up from school, we headed to the
Cubs/Brewers game in Milwaukee. Aside
from exceptionally slow service (I was in line for 2!! whole innings just to
get lunch) and a Cubs loss, we had fun.
S has croup and I’m guessing W does too (coughing lots) so we headed out
during the 7th inning.
