The last week of preschool before the Christmas break brought lots of fun for Miles! Tuesday, December 16th was Miles' Christmas party. Their party had a Polar Express theme so Miles got to wear his pajamas to school. He was in heaven! The parents were invited to the last 15 minutes of class so they could show us their Christmas program. Miles never seems too interested in participating in the singing, but he sure looked cute up there with his classmates dressed up in different costumes.

On Thursday, December 18th Miles went on his first field trip. His teacher had arranged for them to visit one of the local fire stations. Miles was so excited to see an ambulance and a fire truck up close and personal. Due to his preschool's insurance policy, the parents were responsible to transport the children to and from the fire station. This meant that Oliver got to go on his first field trip as well. Both boys had a blast.
Miles learned all about what to do in an emergency and what a firefighter looks like all dressed up in hopes that they don't look scary if one ever shows up at their house because of a fire. The firefighters told his class about children hiding from them during a fire because they are scared of them in their funny gear and oxygen masks. A couple of times Miles' teacher had to remind the firefighters that most of the children in the class are four so they shouldn't make things sound so scary for them. Hopefully no one was traumatized!
I left with a renewed determination to help Miles learn who to call in an emergency and what to do in case there is a fire in our house. We definitely need to work on those two things!
