Once a month at story time one of the shops on the square, Village Toy Maker, does a drawing for a toy; the children who turn in a coloring page get entered for this drawing. Well back up, let me just start from the beginning. We started packing up and getting dressed after gymnastics about 15 minutes early, we wanted to make sure not to be too late for story time, and when lugging around 2 kiddos you dont get anywhere fast. As we were walking up to the fire station Ms. Kelly was telling us to hurry, they were about to start without us (good thing I gave myself a little extra time by leaving gymnastics early). Kaylee turned in her coloring page and wouldnt you know that was the 1st thing on the agenda. The name was drawn and it was KAYLEE's. She won a Melissa and Doug fire puzzle, I didnt get a picture of her with her prize, but here's what the puzzle looks like, I swear she has her father's luck!
After the fire fighter read the story we got to TOUR the fire station. Kaylee was thrilled with this, and what she loved even more was that there was a fire fighter that was answering all 100 questions she had to ask. What's that? Why this? What's that for? What in there? Can I have something to eat? She even asked if she could use their bathroom. Kaylee has a weird obsession with using the bathroom EVERYWHERE she goes.
She was scared to sit in the fire truck at first, but then she REFUSED to get down.
Her picture was in the Collierville paper from one of the story times last month, I am STILL trying to get my hands on that photo. And yesterday they took a picture of all of us in front of one of the fire engines, and Im hoping to get a copy of it as well. Such a fun (FREE!) little activity for a Friday morning. If any readers out there are in the Collierville area and want to join us for gymnastics and story time (there is also a craft and snack time after the story, but we dont stay for that), contact me and I can give you all the details.
