He's Driving

Nana sent Joshua some presents and yesterday we received one of the packages...A Cozy Coupe. It arrived just as we were sitting down for dinner, not that it meant anything to Joshua other than he had a car and it was in a box and neither Mama or Dada were going to open the box...needless to say we opened the box and spent two hours putting it together. It probably would have gone much faster if we hadn't had a mini helper grabbing at everything and then complaining that he couldn't get in the car while we were working on it.

Looking at his box

Trying to open it

Helping Daddy read the directions

Dancing over the back bumper

Helping

Well, it works, even without a door

Ooops

Just couldn't wait at all

First thing this morning after coming down

All completed

All Smiles!!!

Cars

I think I may have found a way to get Joshua to sleep in his own bed...Cars toddler bedding. Yep, Toys 'R' Us has a beautiful set for really inexpensive. It won't clash too much with what we plan to do with his big boy room (which I found some awesome pieces for...check out his wishlist).

Every morning Joshua wakes up and asks for his cars. He will climb out of bed after peppering my entire face with kisses, open the bedroom door and run for the storage area containing his many little cars (yes we are enablers and buy him the characters from the movie Cars). I think we watch the movie at least three times a day. He loves to sit next to me then look over at me and just smile this huge smile and go back to watching the movie, where he will blurt out the characters names and will even start quoting little sayings from the movie.

I love my little man and his addiction.
