Corben 2 & 1/2 years

In AWE of the BIG Fire Engine and all the equipment
He climbed right up and wanted to touch any tools & equipment
In AWE....this is an old fire engine more for "show"...
it was Corben's favorite!!
Standing with Daddy in front of his fire engine, station 34.
You cannot tell in the picture...but the lights are flashing red!!
Corben got to turn the lights on and off!
Spending time with Daddy on the fire engine!
...
Corben counts to 10, knows all his colors, repeats letters and recognizes letters of the alphabet, can pretty much repeat any word you say and then remembers the words!!  His vocabulary has really taken off in the last couple of months!  So amazing to watch him discover new words and ideas!
...
 He is recognizing fire engines driving around town and waves to Daddy and starting to understand Daddy is a fireman!
...
He can dribble and kick a soccer ball and is getting better every day, hits balls with golf clubs and he is getting better and stronger every day with tossing balls and learning to catch!
This boy loves to move and stay active!
...
He is a hard worker and almost every day he is carrying some sort of tool in a pocket, he loves to wear boots outside and is liking swim lessons more and more!

    Corben stayed really close to Daddy the whole game, but did get up and stand and watch the band and dancers at half time.  He also snacked on Kettle Corn! 
    What a fun night with Daddy, they stayed until the end of the third quarter.
