K is for K-Tool

Letters are a big thing in our house right now. Lucie and Ryan love to belt out their ABC song, read alphabet books, and point out letters they see throughout the day. They know that "L" is for Lucie, "R" is for Ryan, "C" is for Daddy, and, my personal favorite, "A" is for "The car!" (level A is where we park the car in our garage).

When we met a fireman and his hook and ladder truck outside the grocery store, Ryan and Lucie put their ABC knowledge to work. Thanks to their Fireman ABC book, which we read 3-4 times a day, L & R knew that "K is for K-Tool!" (In case you're wondering, a K-Tool is a device that helps firemen open locked doors - a new one for me too.) The fireman was stunned by our firefighting knowledge and eagerly hunted down the K-Tool in his truck to show off. He seemed a little surprised by the caliber of our ABC book. Clearly, for two tool-loving toddlers, K stands for much more than kite or kangaroo.

If Ryan doesn't become a firefighter I'll be most amazed. He lives in his firefighter outfit, yes? So cute. Maybe Lucie will become one also!

On another note, Devon sent me this cool webcam. I's a live feed of an eagles' nest in the Channel Islands. There are two chicks who are growing like weeds. Here's the link to it:

L & R might enjoy watching it.

And I too have been in 20 fingers & 20 toes withdrawal. ; )
