Who's Afraid of Firemen?

 Today, Maverick, Jamison, & I toured the Durham Fire Department.  I was a little nervous taking Maverick since so far, he has been terrified of Firemen and has cried whenever they are near.  Both Nanny and Grandma have tried on two separate occasions to take him to see firemen/trucks with no success.  Well, today he did it!  He met firemen with no tears!

Here he is on the truck.  He was a little nervous but did it for the picture.

Same thing with sitting in the truck.  Wasn't too sure about it, but did it because, "Let's take a picture to show Daddy!"

The highlight of the trip was meeting Higsbee the new Firehouse puppy.

Luckily, Jamison slept so I could hold Maverick during the tour.  This allowed him to be brave and not cry although there were times he was on the verge of tears.  Hopefully now he will stop calling firemen "mean guys" and only refer to them as "nice people"  We are still working on that.  He did give a fireman in FULL GEAR (oxygen mask on and everything) a high-five, so I'm very proud of Maverick.
