This one is for Ms. Tammy…
About a month ago, Mommy brought Connor up to Daddy’s office. Connor spent quite a bit of time with Ms. Tammy in the computer room. He pushed a small recycle bin around her office. As he was making his way back to Daddy’s office, there was a larger recycle bin which holds the computer room’s empty cardboard boxes. Connor quickly realized it had wheels and could be moved. So with Mommy, Daddy, and Ms. Tammy watching, Connor pushed the large grey recycle bin to the other end of the hallway. Then he pushed it back to where it was originally located. The grownups were getting a kick out of this.
Fast forward a month…
Mommy, Daddy, and Connor took a walk in the mall the other night. It was not that crowded, so we kind of let Connor walk about on his own (within a few feet of us). All of sudden, something caught his attention but Daddy didn’t pay it much mind. He figured it was just another jaunt off the “beaten path” and Daddy would have to steer Connor back on course. As Daddy approached Connor, Connor just froze and was fixated on something in front of him. Daddy glanced up and about 15 feet in front of Connor a woman was pushing a grey trash dumpster around the mall. Quickly, Daddy asked Mommy for her phone and then switched it on. Now, this is a real short click because Daddy had to stop Connor before he started playing with that NASTY dumpster. It is truly amazing to see a toddler’s brain at work…they are like sponges and take in so much and love to experience so much.
As Ms. Tammy will attest to — the grey recycle bin outside the computer room is much cleaner than the dumpster in the mall. Anyways, hopefully you get the drift from the posting and video.
This one is for you, Ms. Tammy — we think this will bring a smile to your face as it did for Mommy and Daddy (and Connor too) that evening in the mall.

[…] And here is what he bought and played with ALL NIGHT and the NEXT MORNING! He loves it! It is a recycling truck like the ones that come around our neighborhood. (Ms. Tammy will tell you that he has always had a thing with trash/recycle bins — remember this.) […]
