Fire Prevention

Dawson has been in this phase for a few weeks where he points to EVERYTHING and says,

"What's dat?"
And he won't give up on you until you answer him and explain to him what it is and does! I say it is no coincidence that last week he kept pointing to the smoke detector and saying "What's dat?" the same weekend as the Fire Prevention Parade here in Monroeville. Although, I didn't know about the parade until Saturday morning when my mom and cousin blew my phone up to wake me up to go. (We are very serious about our parades!)

I was able to get a few goodies to bring home and I couldn't wait to show Dawson & Gillian! Monday's are usually not the best day for projects around here, so I waited until today (Tuesday) and when the other babies were already down for there naps to talk about the smoke detector.

First, I let them watch this video below:

At first I don't think they were too interested, but then they heard the word "smoke alarm"! And the video shows how it beeps, and Dawson kept pointing to mine and wanted it to beep. After the video, I explained that when my smoke alarm beeps, that means we have a fire in the house. I asked both of them what we need to do if it beeps, and their response shocked me! Gillian pointed to the front door and Dawson said "outside!" Such smart kids! 

I then brought out these cute little coloring books:

..and these awesome hats!! 

They were thrilled and wanted to wear them all morning! 

Happy Fire Prevention Week!
