Two best buddies

Atticus loves kids movie. Or, as he calls them "Movie Kids". I vowed to not be one of those parents who lets the TV babysit their children, but we do let Atticus watch kids movies. It beats most of the children's programming on TV and he really loves getting comfy and watching a movie. And, really who can blame him. Movies are great! Demian and I are both movie buffs, so it really is no surprise his love for movies.

His favorite movie of all time is Kung Fu Panda. It was the first movie that he knew the characters of, and liked to talk about them when the movie wasn't even on. He loves to quote lines from the movie, and act out some of the parts. For his birthday he got one of the greatest gifts ever from Beezy and Uke aka Marybeth and Luke. It is a Kung Fu Panda costume. This was magnificent find, considering the movie came out a few years ago and Fu Panda merchandise is hard to come by. I could find nothing Fu Panda when it came to decorating for his birthday party. He loves his costume and loves to carry it around and give it smooches. It is still a little on the big side for him, but I can bet I know what he will want to be come Halloween time.

"I LOVE KUNG FU"


His second favorite is Toy Story. He got the movie from Jess for his birthday and it was an instant favorite for him. He will throw his hands in the air and shout "AND BEYOND". He even tried to "fly" like Buzz Lightyear off of our bed. A little scary. I was recently explaining to our friend Staci that I found a Buzz Lightyear Pez and that is what we use as incentive to sit on the toilet. We call it the Buzz Lightyear Potty Treat. He gets one every time he sits on the toilet. Staci confessed that she used to have a mild obsession with Toy Story and still had a lot of memorabilia. She said she would bring over something the following day. Well, what she brought was a toddler size Buzz. Atticus fell in love. This Buzz is taller that he is and if perfect for tackling and wrestling with. He also insists on sleeping with Buzz every night.

So here is to great movies, and the characters we love!!



We might need a bigger bed.

I wish Buzz had a less zoned out look on his face, he does not look like he appreciates the love Atticus is giving him. By the way, a friend and co-worker just named her girl Harper.
