Trash Truck Part Deux

Look whose getting in on the action. Yes that is Jadyn actually "barking" at the trash truck. Jake's excitement for trash day has not waned and is apparently contagious. In fact, we have been late for school on several occasions waiting for the weekly pick-up.

For those not familiar, about 2 years ago my Mom bought Jake a toy trash truck in the hopes of it helping him overcome his fear. Prior to that, every week would send him into my arms shaking like a leaf at the mere sound of it approaching our street, paralyzing us for a good 20 minutes. It had not only the desired effect but now Jake loves to watch the trash truck every week, kicking dirt and running up and down the fence with the dogs. We often wonder what our trashman thinks of all this. Our neighbors affectionately refer to it as "the show". We assume he gets a pretty big kick out of it and he is so sweet to honk his horn in a symbolic hello.
