Last night we decided to go out for a family dinner and then go to the Disney Store to buy Bo his first Woody doll. He absolutely loves Toy Story and his friend James has both the Woody and Buzz dolls. Every time we are at their house Bo always picks up Woody and carries him around the entire time we are there. So last night we decided it was time for him to have his own. We haven’t bought Bo any new toys since his birthday and since his “half birthday” is coming up this week :) we thought it would be a fun gift. Half Birthday meaning…this gives mommy an excuse to buy him a new toy while he’s still too young to understand. Something tells me this may be our last year of this!
As soon as we walked in Bo started shouting “Woody, Woody, Woody” he didn’t even want to let go so we could pay for it. Until…he saw Buzz! Then he went crazy over Buzz! I did what every mom would do…looked over at Jarrod who was in the check out line with the look of “how cute is our son, he LOOOOOVES it” and quickly received approval of “just get it, let’s go”! I’m sure there are a few other dads who can relate to this!
So last night we played for a while and at one point I heard Bo saying “eee a eee ah e yoooon” translation “To Infinity and Beyond”!!! We’ve never taught him this so it’s clearly what he picked up from the movie, which again…makes me think he’s the cutest little boy ever, or he’s watched Toy Story one too many times! He says it with such enthusiasm! He also “flies” him around making all the noises one would make while flying…this has made me realize he is officially a little BOY and not a baby anymore! Kind of bittersweet as he’s about to turn 2 1/2 this week.
Woody made the cut for taking to bed and of course this morning we woke up to “You’re my favorite deputy”, “Yee haw”, and “There’s a snake in my boot” coming in loud and clear over the monitor. Woody also joined him for breakfast, naptime, and has been carried around all afternoon. Oh, and he does love Buzz…we’ve heard way too many “space ranger” noises today too, but I think Woody has a special place with Bo.
