Henry hurt his arm. Well only a little bit but Sissy insisted on wrapping it in a bandage because he wanted a "sticker" (bandaid) and we didn't have any. He was so proud of that bandage and looked at it for a long time while posing his arm several different ways just to try it on for size.
He's into role playing now and has a toy helmet that he likes to get from outside to wear while he's watching Fireman Sam on the TV. Sadly he knows every line from every episode that we own on DVD, which are at some point going to melt from endless rotating they have to do across the laser reader or whatever that thing is.
He sings along with the theme song and if anyone else tries to they're quickly told "no, don't you sing it, Henry sings it". We're not even allowed to poke fun of Dillis (the single mother of the town's naughtiest boy - Norman Price) when she chats up Trevor the bus driver from behind her shop counter. "No, don't say Norman's mum".
When it's finally over he runs outside to get the length of hose he uses as a fire hose, attaches it to the tap and plays out what he's just watched.
"Get the hoses Elvis. Right, now put the fire out, hurry!" (followed by nee naw siren sounds)
"I'll get Tom in the helicopter, we're going to need him, hurry Tom".
It's hilarious and he's terribly passionate about it. If anyone attempts to stop him in his rescue attempts they're quickly told where to go.
He has a pair of winter pyjamas that have fire engines on them and he's currently had them on for three days running. He won't take them off. He's hot and sweaty but he doesn't care. He's got everything he needs -Fire truck pyjamas, Fireman Sam DVD, firehose and helmet. All that makes for one happy boy.
