Firehouse Birthday

Today we went to a birthday party at a firehouse. Your friend Amirah was turning 4. It was a grand old time. We took a tour of the firehouse and got to see all the equipment and trucks and boats! I never knew some firehouses had "dive teams" and you got to meet a real firefighter.





You drank a strange but delicious blue juice that made you go nuts. You ate the sprinkles, then the icing, then the cupcake.


I loved seeing you being a part of your "group" as most of the kids at the party go to Ms.Patti's for daycare. You were quite the attentive listener and participant in the tour although you were one of the youngest.



Hugging the birthday girl.


Sometimes you seem so much older than you are. You are so aware of your surroundings and you seem to 'just know' what to do. It's a fine line between toddler behavior and a maturity well beyond your years.


I was exhausted after the party. The blue juice and cupcake kept you going until the dramatic crash and burn this evening. However before the explosion, I was able to capture this one-in-a-million photo of your head through a bubble. Weird, funny and fascinating all in one. Sort of like you.
