Cars!

Big guy has this things with vehicles. Cars, trucks, constructions vehicles, you name it, the kid is obsessed. Now we have started the world of Pixar. Dum, dum, dum!

When Cousin C came over, he brought over his copy of the movie Cars! Big guy was captured- he actually sat still for 30 minutes while we watched the opening and closing races. Amazing- he was totally in awe. Flashing lights, fast cars, funny voices, and lots of action. I know this movie was made specifically for boys! It's amazing when it is on- because he just calms.

Not to say he's passive when he's watching. There are parts that he laughs at- when Chick Hicks, the "bad guy" green car is on. He gets scared during the car crash scene. And he gets really excited when the blue dinoco car talks to lightning mcqueen. geez- guess how many times I've watched it???

Anyway, now big guy can recognize lightning mcqueen wherever we go. At the toys r us, the borders, in the supermarket- anytime he sees the Cars! he instantly runs over, points and yells cars! So adorable. So far we've been good and haven't bought anything. Until grandma dino came to the borders with us and some genius at the borders put a lego cars toy box on the floor and big guy ran over with extreme joy. Dino caved in and bought it. But he won't let go of the cars- so it's money well spent. I haven't made hubs build the gas station part yet.

And then the movie we rented from the library sucked, so we actually bought the movie the other day. We went to so many places on the hunt. Big guy found it- at ground level- duh! in the supermarket. When we brought it home, big guy was hugging the movie case and his lightning mcqueen car while hubs put the movie on. I almost melted it was so cute!
