Now that we are here in Oki, Wyatt loves to help me with getting the recycling sorted and taken out to the curb. He loves to take the stuff and sort it into its respective bin... glass, cardboard, plastic, or aluminum. Then on Thursday night he always helps me bag up the stuff (he especially likes to bag the aluminum and the plastic) and he hauls it out to the front curb for me! He loves it.
The trash comes TWICE a week here, which is amazing to him, and recylcing comes once a week. He is forever asking me questions about what they do with the stuff. Last summer we got a book from the library about trash and recycling, and it was called the Smash Smash Truck (or something to that effect), so that is what the trucks here are now called - The Smash Trucks.
The cardboard recycling truck comes around on Friday afternoons right after we get home from preschool. Wyatt will wait outside and smile, wave, and get excited. He always says hello to them, but they are Japanese and either don't understand what he is saying or just don't care (I prefer to think the former!) ...But last week we had a major breakthrough!!! The guy threw the cardboard in and let Wyatt push the button that smashes it all up!
He was beside himself with joy!
Oh, to be 3 again. How I love this little boy!

How cute...I remember that in Quantico. Your brother had that same infatuation. One time Clare Wingert was the mayor & he told Ian he'd give him a ride someday. I'm sure he never thought another thing about it, but Ian waited every week for that ride. It is so great that Wyatt has his little jobs already at such a young age...they are such good helpers.
Wow, that would be a pretty huge deal!!!! Boys! =)
Fuzz can relate to this. He dresses up as Santa or Easter Bunny and hands out treats to the
kids who wait each AM Tues who react the same as Wyatt. They see him in Jumbo's and come visit, now he started giving them quarters. One little guy has a little sister and she wanted $ he told her "go get it yourself!!"
It's good to give him little jobs like this..kids do love to help.
