It's Thursday!

Along with wanting to know what time it is constantly, Malachy is also very interested in knowing what day of the week it is.  There is a special event tied to each day of the week, so he checks in with us pretty regularly to find out what time it is and what day of the week it is.  

There is one day of the week that he never, ever forgets though: Thursday.  Thursday also happens to be garbage day.

I think San Jose has something written about not starting before 6am, but I believe the trucks line up right outside our neighborhood at 5:55am, and roll in exactly at 6:00 am.  Just like his eagle ears for the construction trucks, Malachy can hear a garbage truck rolling in a few blocks away.  

When there are 2 adults present, Malachy loves to grab one and run around chasing after them.  He gets especially excited when Grandpa Howard is in town for garbage day as he completely indulges him and they run all over chasing every truck they can find.  

Days like today however, he has to be content to watch from the window:

It's Thursday!

We were in the middle of getting dressed, but ALL activity ceases when the trucks are visible.  This picture also shows one of Malachy's other favorite things: tall socks.  He is bringing it back to the old school.  The boy LOVES tall socks.  I have no idea how we are going to do with this when summer comes...
