And lucky for him, he even got to see a real fire engine and firefighters.
Lately, it's been "Mom, hurry, there's a fire in our house. Quick, outside!!" while Tanner sounds the alarm (aka manual alarm clock), puts on his special gear, and puts our the fire with his hose.
Or "You're on fire. Quick, stop, drop, and roll!" And you must follow-thru with the orders.
He also has a obsession with his firemen Legos. He builds a firestation. The firefighters sleep in their bed until the alarm sounds, -- in which case they immediately slide down the poll, put on their helmets, and jump into the firetruck to rescue a person/car/animal on fire.
It's even cuter when he sings the Fireman Sam theme song as he goes:
When he hears that fire-bell chime,Fireman Sam is there on time.
Fireman Sam! 'Cos he's gonna save the day.
Fireman Sam! He's the one we adore.
Sam is the hero next door.
If you enter our house, you'll immediate be asked if you'd like to play firefighter Legos with him. Except for Aunt Katelynn. She wasn't being "careful" when she was playing and accidentally caused a piece to fall off the firetruck -- so she's not allowed to play anymore.
Somedays it's adorable and I think, what will he come up with next? And somedays I think I should be concerned. You could get rid of ALL his other toys and he's still be completely happy as long as he had his firemen legos and firemen dress up clothes.
