Fireman Colin to the rescue!
Some colleagues at The Wall Street Journal financial ad sales group got Colin one of his very first toys after he was born. He loves it! We had taken some pictures of him with the fire truck around Christmas, but they are mostly a photographic exploration of mom and dad’s arms and how they vainly try to hide them as we took pictures of him on the truck holding him up. I guess they’re kind of funny in their own way, but these are so much better. Plus, his head is finally big enough to keep the hat from falling down over his face. I think Colin is all about “driving” these days, his current favorite toy is a musical little dashboard with steering wheel that sings (over and over… and over and OVER) “are you driving? are you driving? on-the-road? on-the-road?”
They should make these toys with music that the parents can enjoy a little more. I think some years ago a group named Kraftwerke had an instrumental (with a few voices occasionally) saying/singing the German for “on the Autobahn”, and it was titled “Autobahn”. That would take at least 40 minutes more for adults to get tired of. I don’t know how Colin would react.
Congratulations on getting past the almost-hidden propping arms. That’s one growing boy there.
