This summer Rylee had the chance to be involved with safety town. It is a program for 5 year olds to learn about 911, fire safety, house safety, and all the way down to stranger danger. She didnt pass the stranger danger test , which is a completly different story! Well Rylee's favorite part was calling 911 , this knowledge was put to the test a few weeks ago. We had a yard sale with the parents and grandma's stomach was bothering her so she spent most of the time in the house. Rylee would go back and forth in the house to check on grandma to make sure she was ok. After one of the many checks on grandma she came out side to tell me this, "mommy, I called 911 for grandma because she needs help." I said "what" in shock and thought she was kidding around with me. So as I was going in the house a 911 dispatcher called. I had to explain what happen and she said it happens all the time with children her age but she still had to send an officer out to make sure things were alright. It was funny to see Ry's reaction when the officer arrived because she made a mad dash towards the house to hide. Of course the officer was nice and gentle and gave a talk about letting mommy know first if there is a problem, and if I cant help THEN call 911. He gave her a sticker and a hug then went on his way. Needless to say I think we have 911 down to a science, now we just need to work on stranger danger!
