Fire Safety Week, Big Truck Day & Brooke's First Trip to 2270

The week of October 4-10 was National Fire Safety Week. At daycare, we learned all about what to do in case of a fire. We learned that if the smoke alarm goes off, we need to go outside (we practiced when the cookies were burnt!). We learned that if there is smoke in the house, “you crawl to the door” (just Kylie!). AND, we learned if we are on fire to stop, drop and roll – and Neela will show you the roll!

The morning of October 10, we woke up to SNOW!! We were so excited we had to put on our hats, mittens and winter jackets – and Mom & Dad had to figure out where they could get ski pants and boots – FAST! Of course, two days later when it snowed and Neela looked outside, she said “Again?!?!?!”. This could be a LONG winter!

We were getting dressed in winter gear so we could go the Woodbury’s Big Truck Day! We got to see a fire truck, a bus, a school bus, a tow truck, a snowplow…

Then, we went to the Fire Station Open House at Daddy’s new fire station! It was so much fun – we got to climb in the trucks, try on Daddy’s boots, and climb in Daddy’s new locker. They also had a jump house for the event – and root beer floats. Now, we think the jump house is ALWAYS at the fire station.
We are learning a few more things, too. A few of our new things are…

If it’s daytime, “Mommy it’s time to get up – it’s daytime.” “Mommy, the sun is sleeping, it’s night night time!” (Of course, Mom & Dad would like if we went to bed a little better at bed time since we know it’s night night time!)

If anyone asks where we are, we say “Here I am!”. We also love to talk about our names – any time we see a “K” that’s Kylie’s name, and an “N” is Neela’s name – even if it’s in the middle of a word! Neela really loves Mommy’s Minnesota Wild and Minnesota Gophers shirts – they have Mommy’s AND Neela’s names on them.

When we do good things with other people – like at daycare – we will say “Mommy/Daddy will be so proud” and “Mommy/Daddy will be so happy”.

We’ve been helping Mom draw thank you notes, and our pictures were of “Happy Face”, “Rocket Boy”, “Rock Families”, “Swimming Boy”… We also told Daddy he’s a “boy princess” and somehow talked about a “Swimming Girl” (Mommy thinks that’s Ariel – the little mermaid – but she’s not sure!).

We also LOVE to play doctor! Our favorite patients are Daddy & Cy.

Brooke’s favorite thing has been grabbing Mommy’s hair – she is in LOVE with grabbing now!! Here she is in her new Mickey Mouse sleeper!
