Mondays

Monday is garbage day here in Del Rey Oaks. Jack is obsessed with the garbage truck! The crappy thing is that it comes at 6am. He usually sleeps til 7 but NOT on Mondays, oh no....we're up at 6 when the first garbage truck comes through, then about 15 minutes later the recycling truck comes by and then around 10am we get the 3rd and final truck. His face is glued to the window watching the trucks unless we're outside for the 3rd one. The guy who runs the 3rd truck always waves to Jack and actually shows off the truck. He always dumps the huge collection bin at our house so Jack can see then gives him a friendly wave and is on his way. It is the sweetest thing and I want to thank the garbage man for it. Not a lot of people have the patience for kids and this guy takes a few seconds to make Jack's day every Monday...pretty cool in my book!! So THANK YOU garbage man! And of course there's a toy to support every child's latest obsession....






Thank you Oma for the garbage truck!! Jack LOVES it! (Just so you know....the toy garbage man's name is Henry (sorry dad!)) What started as a joke has now stuck so we have Henry the garbage man! :-)

My boys LOVE the garbage truck too. Thankfully, ours doesn't come around at 6am. Usually they come by 9, which is nice, but then there's the Thursday when they'r running behind and the boys are down for their morning "rest times" so they miss it. Sad.

But it's so fun to see that Jack has the same fascination. And that garbage man you described is amazing. What a sweetheart. :)
