August 16th 2011

It's the small man's birthday !! The BIG three .... my little man is growing up so fast.  

He had a brilliant day.  He leaped out of bed at 8am shouting  'it's my birthday have I got any presents??' .... I must add not in a spoilt way, I had told him that he had one more sleep to go then he might get some presents if he went to sleep, which he did, although dreams and nightmares upset him during the night.  We came downstairs and he open a couple of presents from his Dad and me, including a new bicycle.  we then got ready to take him to the local Fire Station, our birthday surprise and treat.  For a little lad who ever since he could walk and talk has insisted he will be a fireman when he grows up he was indeed in his element.  A grin from ear to ear.


watching the fire engine being driven out of the station so that he can play with the hoses.


there is small man's pride and joy !!


Of course he had to drive to the fire first...


then it was time to put out the fire....


actually they were trying to knock the cones over ...


really getting into the swing of it now ...


and then the spray (which he wasn't too sure of ... he preferred the jet)


playing with the two tones, sirens, lights and horn ...


bit noisy .... 


that's small man's Dad at the birthday lunchtime meal ...


small man and me...


blowing out the candle ...


Small man's cake ...


This fire engine we got him, the levers pull the ladder up and down and from side to side, it also squirts water. This is Small man putting out his house ...


Squirting everyone with water at the birthday BBQ ...


Squirting himself ....


Great way to get a drink ....


Dad he needs no encouragement to squirt everyone !!  Good day was had by all.
