Once upon a time there was a little chubby adorable perfectly perfect 3rd child that we all adored and when he entered this world so calmly that August day we named him “Kid3” … not really but you get the picture. He was a joy from the moment we laid eyes on him. He is the most laid back kid I have ever met. Kid 4 did not even wake up when he was circumcised if that gives you an idea of his personality. He truly slept, ate and observed for the first few months of life.
As he grew older he just grew to be sweeter and sweeter. We moved from Hawaii to Colorado in the middle of a January Blizzard and while everyone else was crying about the weather too cold to touch anything and locked inside their coats this darling little Kid3 simply embraced the fact that he could no longer move his arms in such a fat coat and was satisfied with the stillness that the freezing mountains brought to him.
He grew some more and fell in love with his tricycle, dirt and a certain movie, a movie that we all learned to fall in love with over time and I believe is a classic and should be considered up there with “It’s a wonderful life and Old Yeller”.
This ‘should be’ very famous movie was Toy Story. My darling kid3 loved Toy Story and so I put a little TV/VCR combo in his room so at naptime he could watch it. His naptime routine would be push in the movie, watch the whole thing, let it rewind, get up push it back in and snooze a little while it played again and rewound for a second time. He would get up from nap and push it in again and go outside and play and do the things that little boy’s do. He knew exactly when to come back in and push it in again. His days were all the same, he lived on that movie and so we all did.

Kid3 and Cody (Bat Girls son) have been dressing up like Woody, Buzz lightyear and Bullseye for years and years and years…. Not anymore but they dressed up like Toy Story characters for much longer than was probably normal!
We have a healthy affection, (maybe too healthy if you ask some) and today we took Kid3 and Kid4 to see it on theaters and had a wonderful time. What a great feeling too look over at him, the big ol’ grown up boy that he is becoming and see him enjoying it all over again. The memories came flooding back as we sat there watching a timeless classic.
I hope you will go and enjoy it too. After all it’s a must see!
