The little Firefighter toy

We thought and thought about how we wanted to include our son in Daddy being gone, fighting fires. Our son has a large collection of fire toys (go figure.....LOL), so before my husband left for his first fire this year, he asked our son "What do you want Daddy to take on the fire?" Our son got excited, grabbed his Little People fireman and said "this one, Daddy." I am happy to share with you that I have seen the little fireman in Daddy's pocket of his nomex shirt. Every fire he goes on, he takes a picture and sends it to our son. As you can see, some are on the fire line while others are in
the area of the fire. Our son gets so excited when Daddy sends him the picture. I have kept a folder on our desktop with all the pictures and title them where the picture was taken. It will be fun to print the pictures off at the end of every season and keep them in a little photo book. I figure when our son gets older he will really love to look at the book and know that every fire Daddy has gone to, he was in Daddy's thoughts.






If you have children, I encourage you and your hubby to find something special like this. I'd love to hear some of your ideas firemans.wyf@gmail.com
