Nolan loves Thursday mornings because the garbage trucks come down our street one by one to collect the trash, recycling, and yard clippings. Nolan hears the truck noises from far away and runs to the front windows to wait for the trucks. He gets so excited and would go right through the front window if he could. The truck drivers come close to the window, wave to Nolan and honk their horns for him. Nolan was getting his diaper changed this morning when he heard the truck noises. Mommy barely fastened the diaper before eager Nolan quickly went downstairs to get ready for the garbage trucks. We waited outside, and Nolan was in heaven!
He watched and waited...
The truck came closer...
And then it was at our house!
Nolan was so excited!
The truck went to our neighbors' houses...
Nolan stood still and watched the truck go down our block.
He watched that truck until it turned the corner.
Then, we took our garbage can back toward the garage.
Nolan wanted to stay outside for a few minutes.
He LOVES to run around outside!
He chased some bunnies.
He pointed as they ran away from him.
The bunnies ran across the street.
It poured rain this morning, so Mommy put the flower pots out in the rock so that they could get watered by the rain. Nolan helped put the pots back on the porch.
He tried to lift the hanging basket up, too. He is so strong!
Thursdays in the summer are great days...Nolan loves the garbage trucks so much!
He LOVES Pops and MoMo's pool!
He has been swimming almost every day since it has been warm!
Nolan loves to have picnic lunches outside, too.
He likes to keep one eye on the pool!
He went in the baby pool since none of the grown ups wanted to go in the big pool.
Aunt Maura put his red chair in the pool.
Nolan looked like a king!
Nolan wore his life jacket that is going to be worn all summer at Pops and MoMo's pool. He had a freeze pop and watched for airplanes with Pops.
He walked around and showed how great he looks in his vest.
Nolan played cars with MoMo and Pops...they had so much fun with the trucks!
Nolan is going to love the pool this summer! Tonight was a good omen!
Nolan just recently started using the gas tank to fill up his vehicles. 
He is so interactive and learning new things everyday! Life is so much fun with Nolan!

Nolan loves the rain, so we try to make the most of our rainy days (and we have had a good amount of those lately).
