If you think he looks cute, you should hear him say, "All aboard!" Just don't make the mistake of asking "How does a train go?" A nice retired Navy man inquired at the grocery store and was very surprised when Kasper started to explain how you need water for the boiler for a steam engine (he was looking for a simple choo-choo).
Kasper had his first day of preschool Tuesday. He loved it. I love the idea of six hours a week to myself (at least until #2 arrives). Here he is showing off his special bag and his new hat. Hey, it was 33 degrees here!
The local fire department had an open house this weekend. Kasper loved it. He gave the firetrucks and ambulances a thorough climbing over and investigating. He was disappointed that they didn't have the lights and sirens going but we explained how it would scare the younger kids. He really liked shooting the fire hose. Patrick had to supervise that one - I thought the potential for disaster was too great. All in all, a successful afternoon, Kasper is still talking about it!
(Kasper is watching as I post and he adds "ooohhh, looking at the shiny valves on the firetruck with Dada!".)
Kasper: I did it! I slid on my belly!
Dada: You have a belly? Really? Let me see it!
Kasper: [points to bellybutton] It's right here. It has a hole.
Dada: What do we call that hole?
Kasper: It's a hole. In my belly.
Dada: But what do we call it? [pointing to my bellybutton] What's this?
Kasper: That's a big belly.
