A couple weeks ago Auntie Al and I took the boy to a safety fair to kill time in between a wedding and the reception. At this fair there were fire trucks galore, a real car fire, an old time fire engine and lots of free giveaways. What kid wouldn't love this?!
Mine.
Don't let these happy pictures fool you. Yes, we all enjoyed a moment of quiet from him when he got to hold the giant hose but let me tell you...it was short lived. That smile up there? Totally fake. I bribed him with something just to get the shot.
I honestly don't even remember what he was so outraged about. It may have had something to do with a balloon? All I know is that I was literally sweating by the time I wrangled him back to the car and strapped him in his car seat.
The best part was seeing that familiar expression on my little sister's face that just kind of screams "OMG I'm never having kids!!" (Our older sister - mom of 3 - is also very familiar with this expression.)
The moral of this story is twofold. Pictures can lie and kids can be annoying..but of course we love them to pieces anyway :)
hahah. the look I've seen oh so many times already...
