james has a slight addiction to trucks. this includes: dump trucks, tractor trailers, the UPS truck, the FedEx truck, the mail truck...you name it, he loves them. he watches for them, hears them a mile away and runs to the window to see them. if he doesn't get there in time, he gets most distraught. i think monday might be james's favorite day as it is "trash day." that is when the biggest, most entertaining truck of all comes by. james will stand glued to the window to watch the giant "claw" pick up our trash can, our neighbor's...and everyone else's on the street for as long as he can see it.
yesterday, our buddies (and perhaps the boy's future spouses??:) stella and ruthie got to join in on this excitement. it seemed to be a big hit with everyone, and i think james enjoyed sharing his favorite past time.
