love the cars~

Our dear Nathan is almost 2 yr and 4 month now. Recently he LOVES LOVES the cars so much, all day, he has two little cars in his hands and plays around whenever he can. He plays the cars on his car seat, during his meal time, when he took bath, on the grass, on the couch, and even when he go to bed, his little hands still struggle to grasp all cars he could find to go to bed with him.

I am little concern if he is too obsessed with cars, even though he also has some obsessions for Robot. But it's not too bad yet. I tried to distract him with different games, such as bicycle, Lego, clay etc. But nothing is as good as car, he put his cars on the basket of his bicycle to play. And have his little cars run over the clay..

My husband told me not to worry, it's just a stage of life that Nathan will eventually move on to other interest.

Today, I took Nathan for some clothe shopping, and I saw the set of boy's clothe, with the car on the shirt and more car photos on the shorts. It's red, and honestly..little bit too "colorful" for me...But Nathan right away hug the shirt and said "car! car!". After some debate, I decided to get his the set since he likes so much.

Oh my godness, how much he loves the car! During the night, he was watching cartoon with his daddy and refused to go shower, I showed him the car shirt and said "let's shower and change clothe". He right away jump down his daddy's lap and happily come to the shower room. After some great water fun, he again doesn't want to get out the shower tub, I showed him the shirt and said "let's put on the shirt now~". Wow..he is very cooperate.

Finally, after we put on the shirt. Oh, mine~~ he is such happy boy! he looked very amazed, kept on touch his belly, pointed at the photo and tell me "car! car!".and he looked around, and very excited to see more car photos on his shirts.

I was glad that my Nathan enjoy his new clothe so much! But I start to think...how can I find a way to take off these clothe tomorrow morning so that he can get dressed for day care....oh....maybe I should get two set of car clothe so one can possible go to laundry :-)

Name...

Alright...something is going on...and we don't know too much detail yet.

But my husband suggested..Nathan likes the name "Abby", so how about we call it Abby?

My response is..what if it's a boy? Then we call it "Elmo" because Nathan also loves Elmo???
