Sean and the Fire Truck
April 25, 2004 on 8:07 pm | In Main |While Ethan was taking a nap this afternoon, I built a Lego fire truck for Sean to play with. The design wasn’t mine, but I built it from a picture, which was difficult. The truck had an neat water cannon on top of it, which could swivel and turn. When I finished, Sean wanted to take it outside. I said, “No, the Legos stay inside”. Sean was very upset, and marched outside anyway. A few minutes later, I saw Sean pulling the garden hose up to the sliding glass door. Sean wanted to put water in the fire truck, so it could actually shoot water! I told Sean, “No, we have to pretend the truck is spraying water”, and then made spraying water sounds. It took a while for this concept to sink in, and Sean ended up abandoning the fire truck.
Later on this afternoon, while I was ironing my work clothes, Sean was making the water spraying sounds I had demonstrated earlier. Cortney asked Sean what he was doing. Sean responded, “I’m spraying Daddy with water”!
