doug and i have spent the last few months laughing hysterically, every time someone brings up disney cars and joseph loses his shiz.
let me be quite clear about this. joseph lived and breathed lightning mcqueen and disney cars. i can't even emphasise that enough. like i cannot tell you how much he loved it. i swear we watched cars 2, once and sometimes twice a day, for about a year.
we had everything lightning mcqueen. he would watch the movie, in his lightning pjs, or clothes (we are talking shirt, shorts, undies, socks, jumper, and even shoes with cars on them) playing with the cars from the movie, doing puzzles of cars, writing the names of the cars... while eating off his lightning mcqueen plate with his lightning water bottle. not joking.
if we saw anything lightning mcqueen, he needed it. here we are spending our birthday money from aunty jenny.
birthdays were so easy. lightning mcqueen all day erry day.
i mean look at that happy face after unwrapping more cars stuff.
cars shirt, eating his cars decorated cake from nanna
and cars pj's brought home from the disney store in utah, again playing with cars toys.
but now, he claims, "i didn't like it that much!!" and then gets mad and storms off. well my son, i can assure you, you did like it that much. and more.
off to the hospital for dental surgery, in a lightning jumper, with a cars backpack.
the happiest day of his little life, at the cinema for the first time, to see cars 3. i have never seen a kid more excited in my life. that's when we were introduced to jackson storm, the first car to beat lightning mcqueen, who became joseph's arch nemesis. he was so mad about him beating lightning that he never got over it, in fact he had a pair of cars 3 pjs that had jackson storm on the front and after a little while, we had to rip the tag out of them, so lightning could be on the front and jackson had to be on the back.
yep. didn't like it that much.
i do hope these photos have proved just how much he "didn't like it" as i'm roaring with laughter all over again posting them up now.
he even got a ride on lightning mcqueen electric car for christmas from poppy and grandma. i can't describe the joy he experienced that day.
anddd the lightning library bag nanna made you. joseph, you may not have liked it that much... but we sure remember it differently.
rip to lightning mcqueen in the kendall house, cause alex isn't even allowed to watch it now.
