Fruit Snacks and Fire Alarms

Usually I save fruit snacks for the grocery store and church, but yesterday I caved and let Kaiden have some "just because". He has always talked to his fruit snacks while eating them, stating the color and animal of each fruit snack then saying "yeah" before he popped each one into his mouth. Yesterday I noticed he has added to his little ritual and has started biting off each animals head after he states the color and type of animal, then says "where's his head go?" "I don't know, maybe next time". I don't know where he gets this stuff, it's funny what they come up with sometimes.

Talking to his fruit snacks, silly kid



Then today Kaiden asked for a bagel, so I put it in the toaster and got busy with something else (forgetting that our toaster has been deciding on it's own when it's going to pop up, no matter what setting you put it on). Next thing I know the fire alarm is going off, so I hurry and pop the charred bagel up, open the door and run over to the fire alarm with a chair and a pillow to fan the smoke detector. The alarm stopped after just a minute and the boys didn't freak out at all, they thought it was kind of cool actually. Kaiden informed me that "maybe the firefighters will come", he was pretty bummed about his bagel too.
