Our New Friends

So, since Jack and I went to Toy Story on Ice and since we’ve been watching Toy Story, Jack’s been pretending he’s Buzz Lightyear-and every now and then, Woody.  The other night, Mark decided to invite those two friends over, and two days later, Mr. Craig dropped them off!  Jack saw the box on the steps and was SO EXCITED!! He started flying him around the house and checking out every button with complete excitement and gratitude.  It was so fun to watch!  I grabbed my big camera and started snapping the first moments of this little friendship! He also met Woody, and loved him!  He gave him a hug, a ride on his shoulders and introduced him to Buzz.  Love this imagination!This Buzz power cuff is pretty neat, too!  Laser light and sounds, night vision, and night lights to boot!  Definitely makes him feel like the real Buzz! This one?  He was checking out the new friends, but Jack was not interested in sharing just yet, and Sam was quite happy with his utensils! Crazy baby! 

We’re sure having fun with these new friends!  He’s acting just like Andy does in the movie, flying them around the house, shoulder rides, having conversations with them, and it’s so fun to watch!  These guys are real to him (even though he’ll stop sometimes and say things like, “Mom, Buzz can’t close his eyes to sleep because he’s just pretend.”) and it reminds me of when I played with my baby dolls.  I’m not a huge fan of a lot of plastic or character toys, but Buzz and Woody are welcomed to stay!
