Buzz Lightyear and His Launch Pads - Pumpkin Patch

October!!!

So it turns out that Luke LOVES his costume. He MUST wear it whenever it's on his mind. I find myself hiding it in his closet so that it's out of site and out of mind.

Today we had a little photo shoot of Emily (Jesse) and Luke (Buzz Lightyear) at the mall. Luke was on cloud 9 about being able to wear his costume. And yes, he hit meltdown when I made him take it off to eat a late afternoon snack and then take a nap.

Upon arrival home, he insisted on wearing his costume again. He has since tested many launch pads around the living room. Everytime I look over to check on him, he's standing on another new surface. A raised surface... ahhhh! Pretty much anytime I don't hear the plastic rubbings of his costume, I can assume he's either thinking of a new surface to try or he's found it and is on top of it, waiting for my approval. Thankfully he waits for approval before testing it!
We now have 'Mother Approved Launch Pads' through out the house (couch cushions lying on the floor) and several 'Non-Approved Launch Pads.' It's a bit scary!!! I'm still rather new to this little boy, super hero thing and am much more comfortable with the challenges of raising a little princess.

On another note... thankfully his costume had BIG knee pads built in!!! It must have been designed by a mother of boys. :-) (And... there sure is a lot of sweat inside his costume when I take it off of him. It's gonna stink by the 31st!)
