I got caught

Chase seems to go in phases of things he likes (like all kids). First it was Sponge Bob. He LOVED Sponge Bob. He watched it at my parents house and next thing I knew...he just wanted everything Sponge Bob. He would see a yellow jeep and call it Sponge Bob jeep...when we moved him to a big boy bed so Ethan could have the crib, and we went to pick out his sheets he wanted the sponge bob sheets, and then he got the sponge bob pajamas and then the sponge bob doll, so when he went to bed at night it was Chase covered in Sponge Bob.




Then I got tired of that and watching the same episodes over and over. So I tried getting him into other things. Now it is Lightning McQueen from CARS. So the other day we were at the store and we always have to go get a hot wheel car...oh man we have a ton of those...daddy got us in the habit of that. So we went over to the car area and he wanted the Lightning car and i saw it but i did not want to pay the money for it ($3...i am cheap) so i got the little hot wheel car that was red...he wouldn't know the difference and he didn't for a whole three days. He carried that little 97 cent car with him everywhere! Then we went to the mall to play. And across the play area is the Disney store...and what do they have a huge display of? CARS. so he runs in there so excited looking at all the cars and backpacks and everything else they freaking make, then it was time to go. And he flipped. So i pull out his little "Lightning McQueen" car out of the diaper bag, he looks at it, then looks at the real Lightning McQueen car, throws his down and says "NO!!" He then realized mom has been lying to him this whole time. I felt so bad. So with him kicking and screaming the whole way out of the mall I call Curtis and have him pick up the real Lightning McQueen car at the store. He was so sad he threw his fake lightning car down and would not play with it at all. Finally when we got home I put the movie in and that settled him down somewhat. But when dad got home from work that day with the real car he was so excited!!! Now he will not let this one go. And at night time if you try to take it out of his grip while he is sleeping he wakes up. Oh boy! What will be next!?

watching cars, he gets so excited at the beginning

HAHAH man that is good stuff. He's way smart for not even being 2!!! I'm all for being cheap. I would have done the same thing.
