On Saturday afternoon Simon and I went for a (very slow) walk down to Scooters to give Alan a chance to get the computer/desk in the basement and the cradle/crib upstairs. While Alan did a million trips up and down the stairs we passed a firetruck that was invited to a block party. Obviously we pulled over to look at it. There were a ton of kids crawling all over it but Simon refused to get out of his stroller for a while. A fireman even came over and let him try on a hat and he seemed a bit more comfortable. Finally, I picked him up and, with many reassurances that it was ok, put him in the front seat hoping that we'd get an awesome picture and he would realize how many buttons were up there. He freaked out. I was so surprised! It took me a while to realize (through the tears) that he thought the fire truck was going to go speeding off at any second and didn't want to be stuck on it when it left. Poor kid. We tried standing near it but that still wasn't ok, so back into the stroller we went to just watch for a while longer. Then off to scooters for an ice cream.

| Very nervous about being so close to the truck. He backed up and climbed back into his stroller right after this. |
