Do Real Firemen Do This?

Approximately every five seconds I have to answer the same question. My conversations with J pretty much go like this:

Mom: "Please brush your teeth."

J: "Do real firemen brush their teeth?"

Mom: "Yes, absolutely."

J: "Ok."

Mom: "You need to wear your helmet on your bike."

J: "Do real firemen wear helmets?"

Mom: "Yes, absolutely."

J: "Ok."

Mom: "You need to take a bath and wash your hair."

J: "Do real firemen take baths?"

Mom: "Yes, absolutely."

J: "Ok."

It's amazing to me that he gets so into things. Both of my kids have such strong personalities and while it usually makes me feel like pulling my hair out, I guess I'm glad that I have such independent and strong willed children. Although last night I put them to bed at 6:00 for being just a bit too strong willed. Tonight grandma is taking them and we get a date night. Yay for us!
