M is obsessed with the garbage, garbage cans, and now recycling. My better half thinks it has nothing to do with recycling except for the fact that it is related to trash (and the fact that it means a special trip to the garage...another really fascinating place). I believe this to be true as well, but I have a different take on it.
It's one of those things...a Field of Dreams analogy of sorts. You build it, they will come. At first he just talked about it because it was a form of trash. Now he thoughtfully comments and can identify objects that should be recycled. We are building a child that will be environmentally responsible from a very early age. He won't know anything different. So...I am glad that "recycle" is in his vocabulary at almost 2. Regardless of the reason, he is a reminder that we should all do our part to make a difference. If he can do it, so can we.
