PORTLAND, Ore. (KPTV) – A special friendship between a 3-year-old and a mail carrier has gone viral.
3-year-old Ava found something to look forward to every day to make the best of her “stuck-at-home” situation.
Separated between a windowpane, she and USPS mail carrier Ian Simon dance it out every morning. Simon said, “She gets so excited it’s amazing.”
There’s no set choreography, but it is a tradition that started about two years ago and stuck. Simon explained, “One of us started to do a little jig and we just keep on doing it now.”
During the pandemic, Ava’s dad—David Whitlow—tells us this interaction, now means even more. “It starts the day on the right foot,” He said. “He’s really been a sweet person and he’s made a huge difference during this… I don’t know, kind of otherwise dark time.”
