In the last post I mentioned that Caleb and I had just gotten home from "schmoozing" for the MDA. Katie Hepperman sent me the pics, which are just too cute!
Here he is with a couple of the firefighters from one of our new Vista fire houses. The guy on the right thought Caleb would love to see his fire hat (which is yellow). When he brought it over to Caleb and asked, "Do you want to try my hat on?" Caleb responded, "No, I want a red hat!" Apparently it's the fire
chiefs that wear the red hats. They all thought Caleb's desire to be the top dog was hilarious. They didn't realized that all he really wanted was a plastic hat that he could actually wear without his head toppling over.
We then stopped by a Stater Bros. store to thank them for their continued support of the MDA. They have raised well over a million dollars for MDA so far, and this just continues to grow. The managers were excited to find out that Caleb's Papa Mickey was "Mr. Gold!" Caleb's grandpa is the VP of deli and bakery for Stater Bros. and he apparently stops by this store somewhat regularly to check on their deli and bakery on his way home from the corporate office in Riverside.
The next stop was an Oceanside firestation to thank them for their support in the "Fill the Boot" campaign. And they even had a plastic hat for him to wear!
Then they let him drive the firetruck!
The next stop was... Dreamland. Apparently all the schmoozing is very tiring.

Awwwww! So cute. I LOVE the picture with the fireman helping to balance the chief's helmet on Caleb's head.
P.S. (inside joke coming) It didn't work this time. Maybe next time.
;-)
Too cute...maybe I need to start hanging out with Caleb more and get me a fireman :-) I'm looking forward to seeing little man more this year in our new room!!!
Caleb can take you around to the different firestations and introduce you. There were definitely some worth taking a second look at...not that I noticed since I'm married ;o)
PS - The fireman had to hold the hat hovering over Caleb's head 'cuz his head would LITERALLY topple over.
So awesome! I think Caleb has a future in PR!
