Taft loves the garbage truck and the garbage man. Every Tuesday and Friday morning when the truck comes, Taft runs outside and waves while shouting "Hi!" over and over again until he gets a wave back and even a few honks of the horn.
Taft decided a week or two ago that he wanted to do something for the man who drives the garbage truck. His original idea involved 3D printing an actual garbage truck he could fill with something. We worked it down to an ornament in a bag filled with candy.
Taft drew the garbage truck and wrote "thanks" inside of it. He also drew himself on the back of the garbage truck and the garbage man is inside. He thought about it for 2-3 days before actually starting his drawing and he drew it 3 times before he got it just right.
Tuesday morning was an exciting morning as we all waited for the garbage truck to come! He eventually did come and Taft was ready. Erik lifted him up and Taft handed the goodies to the garbage men (there are always 2)! Taft got lots of honks from the garbage man that day! Unfortunately it wasn't the normal guy, but Taft has already started printing more so he can give one to his normal friend!
