Ivan came home from camp talking about a book they had read called Firefighter Ted. So, I checked it out of the library for him.

He is smitten with the fire fighting bear. He likes to pretend to be Firefighter Ted.

His own fuzzy bear playing the role of Firefighter Ted and riding a firetruck.

Ivan artistic interpretation of Firefighter Ted. Ted is down in the bottom left corner. The red scribble is fire. Ivan at almost 4 has done very little representational art, so the stick figure is quite a break through in inspiration for him.

Ezri art inspired by Firefighter Ted. His big sister has always claimed to be an artist.
