But what strikes me as even more amazing is that Bear, a child infamous for liking the idea of something then realizing that the experience is far less entising than the picture she formed in her head, stuck with us, for the whole process of making applesauce.
It got hard, but she hung in, taking delight in the apron wrapped around her tiny waist and the pen she sported because, "it's what mom used to do for work and I like doing things just with you."
Preschools have a curriculum that includes educating our littles about Community Helpers. Usually this includes the firemen in full gear, demonstrating how they keep us safe even while they keep their own bodies protected from the fire. It is also meant to calm the kids who think they look 'a bit scary'.
Today, the firemen visited Comedian's school along with an ambulance squad.
Same concept. Different community helpers.
When I picked her up she presented me not with a representative coloring book, or a "I'm a friend of a firefighter" sticker, but an official looking paper.
"Ah, you need to sign this" her teacher said, a sheepish smile playing on her face. "Comedian fell when she was on the ambulance and got quite a scrape. She's fine. She was so brave, but we need you to sign that we recorded the incident."
The irony was not lost on me. Even so, my smirk became a full out laugh when I saw the line that asked, "Was an ambulance called for this injury?".
Ah - no, seeing as she was already on the ambulance when the 'injury occured'. Leave it to my little Comedian.
So, there you have it: Applesauce and Ambulances.

That was simply a cute post!
Your girls are the ABSOLUTE Adorablest, EVER!!
Not only very cute (well, the stories and applesauce--not so much the scrape), but delicious. How do you store the applesauce for the rest of the year? Does it need to be refrigerated?
Bear is too cute in that apron.
And I have a feeling that the story about the ambulance injury will be sticking around for many years to come. :)
Aw! Well, I hope she had fun on the ambulance despite the fall.
Bear looks adorable in that apron and I love the story of the Comedian's ambulance mishap.
Applesauce and ambulances indeed! Great stories...
adorable post. your little girl looks just like you now, and so very proud in her apron. I love the irony of your second story, too funny.
Ahh...I remember making applesauce with my mother. I can almost smell it now! I like how they have ambulances and fire trucks come to the schools...it does help the kids understand that they are not scary things.
Your kids are adorable!
Very cute indeed! Glad Bear had a good time making applesauce and I hope the Comedian's scrape isn't too painful!
It really is amazing to see children's personalities show through!
Have I told you before that The Bear glows? Everytime I see her, I think this.
So glad the Comedian didn't have to RIDE in the ambulance.
