...and the recycling truck. They each arrive once a week. When Jeneva was between the ages of 2 and 3, she would hear it in the morning and run to the front window.
The truck would then turn and go down our alley, so she would run to the window that is right by our alley. The truck would then stop (about 2 feet from our window) and load up the neighbors recycling. How exciting to be so close to the "recycle man" and the "garbage man."
As it moved from our side alley window to the back of our alley, the view was exceptional from the kitchen window. So, her little feet would take her to that location. More excitement!
She outgrew this weekly ritual sometime in her "4's." Every once in awhile it will evoke some excitement in her, but not like it used to.
I believe that Jude will be following in Jeneva's footsteps (literally) as he races from window to window just to get a glimpse of the mysterious guys in the cool trucks.
He is starting a bit young it seems, but he is a boy after all. He isn't walking yet, so his view is simply from one place, not all three....yet.

Orison is still loving this Wednesday morning ritual. He has his garbage guys who look for him in the windows if it's cold and wave (and sometimes honk). And if it's nice out, he's out there having conversations with them!
Wednesday morning is also our library's story hour, but I usually opt for him to stay home so he doesn't miss the garbage trucks. He really would hate missing them.
Oh yes. I have two little men that stand palms and faces plastered to the front window. Our garbage guys come 2x a week so it is extra thrilling. Abraham even narrates..."up, up, up dump!... good job garbage man. Dump those stinky diapers." It's pretty funny.
