Yes, the training must start at a young age :-)

There are a few things in the Smith/Barker family that are indoctrined into small children at a very young age. One, of course, is a love of fire trucks. Lauren's Mom and Dad gave Matthew this great fire truck for Christmas and as expected, Matthew loves it! Grampy's latest recruit is officially in training!
Brroom brrom..
Another must love is basketball. This really required no training as Matthew LOVES balls. For the past two weeks a ball must accompany Matthew to bed and last night it had to be his basketball. This is not staged - he is in fact cuddling his basketball! There are other "rules", such as thou shall never ever own a Ford...but it's still a little early for that one! Matthew is well on his way to being an advid hockey fan though. He and I dance to the Hockey Night in Canada music every Saturday night and I've taught him to make a fist, wave his arm, and chant "go, go, go"! He thinks it is so much fun to cheer!!
