Solomon went on his very first ever school field trip on Thursday! He was overwhelmed with excitement and could not wait to get a ride on a big bus!
His school arranged a trip to the fire station and for the smaller ones, they had to be accompanied by an adult, so I let Sidekick follow him on the trip. He totally enjoyed his trip to the "fai-yer tay-shen"!
Sidekick reports that he refused to sit when in the bus, and stood at the aisle all the way to the fire station and back! (Sidekick had a firm grip on him) He stood in the aisle because he wanted to look through the big bus windscreen and didn't want to miss a thing!
Then at the fire station, he paid attention to everything the fire fighter said and watched in rapt concentration as he demonstrated putting out a fire using a fire extinguisher!
When the fire fighter asked whether they wanted to get on the fire engine, Solomon was the first to shout, "Yes!" So the fire fighter hoisted him on the truck and he was beaming with joy! :)
It was a hot day, and though Solomon came back with red cheeks, he thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!
Now, every time he sees a bus, he points to it and says, "My bus!"
