Big Truck Day in Burlington was so much fun! Michael spent the time with his cousin Nora whom he just adores. He loved to hold her hand and walk around and up on all the trucks that were there.
He wasn't sure what a news truck was but we showed him the inside. There was a camera outside that was hooked up to the tv monitor inside. Jim stood outside and waved to Michael. Michael was in the van laughing and waving back at Jim on the screen. He had no idea that Jim couldn't see him! So cute.
The playground was just as much fun as the trucks were to him. With Nora beside him, he trip-trapped over the bridge and up to the slide. He wouldn't slide down, but he enjoyed the climb.
Michael was excited to see "Mary Ann" , the digger from Mike Mulligan, at the event. He ran right up to it
and touched the big wheels. He said, "Hi Mary Ann!"
He wasn't too sure to be on the big wheel but he sat for a picture, but not too happy about it.
He was definitely ready to get down after just a few snaps of the camera.
This was much safer and he sat right down on the wheel.
He was very daring on the mixer as long as Nora was right beside him.. He loves her so.
The police car was also a big hit. He wanted to turn on the computer and the sirens but settled with
"driving" the car.
Michael really enjoyed exploring on all the big trucks. There was a race car and an RV that he liked too.
Michael reaffirmed that he wanted to be a fireman when he grew up. He also wants to be a chef with a big white hat who drives a fire truck. He also wants to be a bus driver. He also wants to have a badge like the police man.
I like that Michael has endless ideas of what he wants to be when he grows up. He believes anything is possible. His role playing and imagination is so important as he learns of different roles in life. His imagination reigns and it is beautiful. Why not a super hero who drives a fire truck and wears a big white chef hat? Life should be filled with creativity. I want Michael to create as long as he can.
