Career Day

Barrett had his first Career Day at Primrose. He had a hard time deciding between a policeman or a fire fighter.

In the end, we chose a policeman.

For the past two weeks at school, they've been studying people in the community that help to keep us safe. The Allen Fire Dept. showed up in their big, red firetruck for all the kids to see. Barrett was up close and personal with all the gadgets and I'm sure he was full of questions. He told me all about the big ladder, fire hose, and lights on the fire truck!

The Allen Police Department also came up to Primrose and allowed the kids to look inside their police car, listen to the sirens, and overlook their fancy uniforms.

So much fun and so much learning! I love it!!!!

**Little, sweet piece of info...Barrett is wearing the same name badge that my daddy wore on his police uniform. My dad (Jim Barrett) is a retired police officer and wore his name badge, BARRETT, every day. As a child, I can remember him putting it on his uniform, snapping on his belt and all of his "police gear". Pinning the name badge onto Barrett brought back some sweet memories.

The name badge was also part of B's Show and Tell today at school. He was so excited to show everyone and tell them the story about how it use to be Papa Barrett's!!!!
