Ian's Fire Fighter Engine

I'm not sure exactly how the laundry basket became a fire engine, but it has been playing that role for most of this week. Ian will load his cars, his stuffed animals, his sandwich from three days ago that has been hanging out under the couch, et cetera into the basket and push it around the house making siren noises-- and not just any siren noises, they have to be fire engine siren noises (I seem to have a hard time making the right sounds--evidently we are raising a siren conoisseur).

Ian got his Plooter (the little learning computer he got for Christmas) and sat in the fire engine the other night and was having a great time talking to the other firefighters, playing on his Plooter, eating YoGos and being so darn cute that I just about popped. He saw Cooper across the room and decided that Cooper needed to be a firefighter too. It will be a little while before Cooper joins in the play, but it is fun to see that he is already invited. We are very blessed.
