As much as I love Lightning McQueen...

watching him 5+ times in 2 days is a bit much.

Before you judge Jackson's TV watching habits, we were in the car for 6 hours yesterday where he watched it over and over.  I offered other movies, and he declined.

Now we don't have cable yet, and all he wants to do is watch CARS.  On the upside it is allowing us to get a lot unpacked.  ka-chow!

Thanks, disney.  Thanks a lot.

  • Hey, at least you're getting your unpacking done, right? Wink

  • oh please woman, I can't even tell you how much "nightning queen" I have in my life.  From the movie to the books to the matchbox cars - even his bedding is Cars (gasp!) because that's the only way I could get him in the big boy room!  Thankfully, he's not as annoying as some other movies/shows, so I guess I should be grateful!!

  • aprilmomtobe - I think that's where we're headed.  I just bought the movie for our trip as a "new" thing to keep him happy in the car, b/c he's seen it one other time on disney and was in love.  Now he's full on obsessed.  We went to Target to get garbage cans today and we almost didn't get out of the aisle with the diecast Cars alive.

    I told him he could have Cars sheets if he is a good boy and I think we're going to use diecast Cars as PTing treats if he gets enough stickers...ahhhhhhhhhhh.  I like that I have his number right now, but it is getting a little old.

  • Oh ya, those diecast cars are great bribes!  We actually just went to Target today because Ronan said he wouldn't have accidents on nightning queen "big boy" underwear.  (can you tell I'll try anything??)
  • Um, I had to buy 3 packs of the Disney underoos at Target because he only wants to wear the "mah-tah and wightnin' macqueen" ones...sigh.
  • This is my imitation of Jackson:

    WHERE MY MATER?!?!?!  WHERE MY IGHTNING MCQUEEN?!??!!  

    Meltdown.  Find cars.  Rinse.  Repeat.  

    I want to solder the dumb things to his hand.  Is that abuse?

  • HOWEVER everytime I watch CARS I always see somethiing that I didn't the 500+ times before. To be honest I'm surprised my DVD isn't worn out yet.
  • Don't even get me started.  Seriously. 

    Lighting has taken over my house.  Who knew there was so much Cars stuff out there?

    oh Lordy this is our house. He was bugging me all day about Mac. "we go to the store and buy Mac". Over and over..with lots of tears and tantrums in between. Luckily we got away with only watching it once today; and it was raining all day.
