FOREST CITY, North Carolina -- A North Carolina boy's wish to be a UPS driver came true in the most adorable way.



UPS driver Kellie Martin started delivering to the Walker family's home in Forest City, North Carolina about a year ago.



She made fast friends with 5-year-old James.



When she found out James wanted to be just like her, she entered him into a contest to win his own tiny UPS truck.



And since he's won, he hasn't stopped driving it.
