It was really cool. We went to the Library for Storytime and as we were walking back to the car we saw a fire engine. We were looking at it and talking about it when a fireman came up and asked if Daniel wanted to sit inside it. We said yes so he opened the door and let Daniel sit on one of the chairs and looked around. He then asked if Daniel wanted to wear one of the helmets so we put it on his head (holding it because it is quite heavy). Daniel really didn't show any expression - but he tends to do that when he is excited but also feeling shy. He then hopped down the the 3 other firemen came over to say hi to Daniel and Eliza and had a little bit of a chat with them - asking their age, where they had been, etc. They had to go so we said bye and as they left they turned on the flashing lights and turned on the siren. Daniel started making the siren sound too.
They were so lovely. They also said to take him to the firestation some time to sit in the fire engine properly and look at everything. I'm thinking we'll go as a mothers' group to see it.
What a fun special experience :-)
