A Day for Learnin'

Today we went to the Firestation with playgroup! It is fire prevention week and I think it's never to early to start teaching them!

We missed this last year, but had taken the kids the year prior. Regan was too young at the time, so I was very excited about the program this year! They really explain things on the kids' level, and covered everything from not playing with lighters, matches, candles or stoves, to how to find a window or door in a smoke filled room to get out. There was a stop, drop and roll song, a cartoon and the kids even got to go into a house like thing, where they filled it with pretend smoke and let the kids crawl to safety. My child, of course, refused to crawl out! Little turd!

I think the kids have a good time and learned a lot! I asked Regan when we left what she learned and she remembered everything! I was very amazed, because this was really the first time discussing these things.

You know, just listening to the fireman talk really made me tear up! I hope Regan never has to experience something like this! Fire is such a scary thing and the thought of being in a burning house is just my worse fear!!
