Friday mornings in our house are now a buzz of activity. And it all centers around the arrival - and unfortunately all too quick departure - of our garbage truck.
Yep. That's right. My daughter Sadie is beyond fascinated by garbage trucks. It all started pretty innocently. We were outside last Friday watering some plants in the morning before work when the garbage truck arrived. She stood transfixed as the machine rolled up, reached out with it's mechanical arm, and dumped the contents into the belly of the machine.
As soon as the truck rolled down the block, Sadie wailed. Wailed. And wailed. She wanted more 'Argug tuck' and told us about it. She even has a hand motion where she mimics how the garbage truck picks up the can and dumps it into the truck.
Granddad Charlie heard about this from us over the weekend and was the first to think that maybe, just maybe we have a budding engineer on our hands. And...he fed the beast! Granddad found a bunch of garbage truck videos (including this one!) on YouTube and sat SD down in front of them. She couldn't get enough!
The excitement on Friday mornings has reached a fever pitch that even Princess Eloise is all geeked up about the trucks. Check out that photo above. They're both right there watching the trucks.
How long will it last? No idea. But...with Granddad feeding her engineering-related content, the sky is the limit, right? (a dad can hope!)
