Not everyone knows this but Oksana has this funny little personality quirk. She is obsessive. I mean really obsessive. She is always obsessed with balls and balloons but then there are other things that come and go. Right now the obsession is anything to do with firefighters. It's all she talks about, reads about, thinks about, etc. Last week a paper came home from school saying that a local fire station was going to have pictures with Santa, coloring, cookies and juice, and a chance to check out a fire truck so we knew where we would be on Saturday morning!
When we got there a fire fighter took a liking to her and let her do all kinds of extra stuff...she got to sit in the drivers seat of the truck, go in the station to see where they live and sleep, etc. She was in heaven! He was so sweet to her and told us to come back sometime when there wasn't other kids so they could give her one on one time! The pictures do a great job of showing you how happy she was!
This last picture shows another one of her little "quirks" ;). If you look closely you will see that she is telling her imaginary friend, who happens to be her hand....yes I said her hand....,that she is going to see where the firefighters sleep. Which reminds me, I should blog about her imaginary friends sometime. The good, the bad, and the strange!

Do her obsessions last long? Or does she keep adding to the list? I'm glad she has things that she can enjoy to the 9th power. I'll bet you are constantly smiling around her. She makes me smile. Thanks for sharing.
Her smile is infectious! I'm glad that Oksana had such a great time at the fire station! :)
She is so cute!!!! I was just thinking about her this morning :)
You know, I think the toys "Little People" have a firetruck. I thought about it because I just saw their nativity set on Saturday. Maybe that will get her to play with the little people too? And T and T can take a break?
Was this in St. Peters? I took my son Josh there and he had a wonderful time. We would like to meet you sometime - a lot of what you describe about Oksana we experience with Josh.
Pat in St. Peters
