Kai had one main wish for Christmas this year..."a real fire station that I can play with". He told us that he already had a firestation, but it was just a picture on his rug and wasn't much fun to play with.
On Christmas morning, the first thing he did as he ran to the living room to look at the tree was throw his arms up in the air and shout "I wonder which present is my fire station!". After all of the presents were open, a slightly deflated Kai quietly walked around the room and helped us open our presents. I said to him "Kai, was there anything that you really wanted this year for Christmas that you didn't get?". Holding back tears, he said..."yeah...a fire station". Fortunately, there was a small present still under the tree that had been missed. Kai opened it only to find a small fireman figure. A short note was attached and read..."If you want to see where I live, go downstairs...Love Santa". We all followed Kai down to the playroom where he found a mound of black garbage bags. Underneath was the coolest fire station that I've ever seen. Kai was beside himself and immediatly gave his fire station a big hug. He's been playing with it for hours and hours ever since.
Later that morning when he was talking to his Nanny, he told her that he had been really worried and thought he wasn't going to get his fire station.
I have to admit, this fire station is so cool. It is all wood and stands 3 stories tall, sporting a basketball court and helicopter pad on the top level. It came equipped with well-made, sturdy wooden furniture for each room. There's a bedroom, bathroom, office, living room, kitchen, barbecue area, and work-out room with a treadmill. It also came with an ambulance and firetruck with removable ladders.
The only thing that Dom and I just can't figure out is why the firemen are not wearing pants. There are 3 identical firemen that were included with this station and they are all pantless. I can't imagine it's very comfortable fighting fires with no pants.
