Let me just start by saying that Ben is obsessed with trash trucks (the real ones)... as luck would have it, my day off with him is on Thursdays, which just happens to be trash day at the Caputo's... he eagerly looks forward to when Armando (yes, we're on a first name basis with our trash guys) heads up the road, gets out of his truck and gives Ben "knuckes" or a "high 5". Then, Ben watches as they dump all the trash into their truck. As they drive off, Armando honks the big horn for Ben and waves goodbye... Ben then proceeds to point out every single trash truck on the road for the rest of the week until it's trash day and talks incessantly about all things trash.
Ok, you have the picture, yes? So, you can imagine his pure delight when we opened the box from the Bridge's and it was his very own TRASH TRUCK! This thing is amazing... totally motorized, it lifts the green bin on a belt to the top when you push the lever, dumps the green bin and then you can collect whatever you've just dumped out of the back of the truck. It really is pretty cool. It also honks and tells you that it's "ready for the dump". He is obsessed with it and I've never seen a toy hold his attention like this thing can. We have now gone through 3 sets of batteries in less than a week.... again, obsessed!
Thank you Bridges - we love you and are wondering what we've done without this toy for this long?! :)
