Shaun’s ultimate goal is to be happy and enjoy life. He has a fascination for BIG trucks, particularly fire trucks and garbage trucks. Some Tuesdays Shaun is at program when our garbage truck comes; we usually go out and watch the recycling get dumped into the truck. The driver is a great guy and always waves and makes a big production of dumping the recycling and honks and waves to Shaun when he drives away.
This month, the driver let Shaun check out the inside of the truck! It was fantastic; Shaun was grinning from ear to ear. We learned that our garbage man’s name is Ron. He seemed to get as big a kick out of the experience as Shaun. I’d say we met that ultimate goal for the day!
