One of the summer camps we signed Liam up for was Safety Town. It is a program through our county where the kids talk about fire, water, playground, stranger, electrical safety and just about every kind of safety imaginable. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Liam came home each day sharing what he learned and was excited to keep going. Ironically, the only day he had a hard time with was fire safety. The fireman set off a smoke alarm to show the kids what it would sound like and Liam really freaked out. He has been around fire safety his whole life and is not a fearful kid at all. I was so surprised. That night, he asked me many many questions about our exit plan and what if..... I assured him we had a plan and that is all we can do. We prayed for safety and I ended up sleeping in his bed that night. After a few days of this and him doing practice exit drills on his belly with Marlo, he calmed down. I am so glad he went through all of that now though instead of when there was really a fire and he was too scared to get out.
The last day of camp, the students had a little program. So fun!
Liam and his friend, Sawyer
