Future Construction Worker? Or Fider-Fighter?

Our 12 building condo unit is expanding to lucky number 13, and during the construction, there have been a myriad of construction type vehicles just hanging around waiting for Jack to play his little heart out.
Jack loves him some excavator-or, as he used to call them, eh-kiss-vator. He actually is better now, but we miss the way he used to say it.
"Wook, wook, Mama, EH-KISS-VAY-DOR!!-Wow, das HUGE!!"
"Yes, Jack, it is huge.
He screamed like a banshee when it was time to drag him off this thing.
These pictures were taken sometime in October or some such, but recently we had a fire alarm go off at our place, also due to previously mentioned construction. I guess when they test the alarm, it causes a water pressure fluctuation blah blah blah, bottom line-our alarm goes off. And if you have ever heard our alarm, you know that there is no ignoring it. Heather was at home with Jackers, on her way to a mommy lunch when the alarm went off, so she was okay and on her way out anyway. Then, magical moment, she realized that if she waited, the fire truck would come.............
It you trigger the alarms, the firetrucks will come.
And Jack-Attack nearly lost his little mind. The firefighters, or 'fider-fiders,' as Jack refers to them, came over and talked to him, gave him stickers, and generally made the kids' day. Driving away, they had their lights on for him and waved at him and really made him happy.
Here's to the future, and endless possibilities.
