Fireman Luis!

One of the presents Luis got for Christmas was a set of four DVD's from Bibi Croom that includes a fire & rescue video. Luis has watched it at least once a day since Christmas, and several times a day on certain days. He still loves his Fireman Sam, too. In general, his fascination with fireman/fire truck things continues to grow.

Diego helped Luis with some of his "turnout gear". He took his old camel back pack, put an oatmeal (cylinder) container in the back and found a hose to provide Luis an air tank to give him fresh air to breath while he puts fires out. They found Luis's goggles (to protect his eyes). The Froggy Boots officially became "fireman boots". And Luis's big red winter jacket became his fireman's jacket.
There is a scene in the fireman movie where the alarm sounds during the night, signalling a fire. At that point in the movie, Luis JUMPS off the couch, runs around the house putting on all of his turnout gear and then re-appears in front of the TV, ready to help fight the fire. It's pretty hilarious to watch.

Even in the bathtub, Luis likes to play Fireman. Here, he's got his goggles on to protect his eyes and is using another toy to act as his "breath thing" (the regulator for his air tank).


There is a very fuzzy line between Luis pretending to be a fireman in the tub and Luis pretending to be a SCUBA diver. I'm not really sure which one he is supposed to be here.
