Buzz Lightyear

When we got to Florida, Carter became slightly obsessed with Buzz Lightyear.  I'm not sure when the obsession began.  We have a handful of Toy Story toys at home and have all the movies.  A couple of weeks before our vacation the boys got a new Toy Story toy that included a Buzz figure but while Carter liked it and him, he wasn't obsessed.

In the parks, we did the Toy Story rides and saw the characters in the parades.  Carter was excited about everything but seemed most excited about those things (especially Buzz Lightyear).

We weren't extremely strict about the furniture in the hotel room like we are at home because there is only so much space in the room to play and we only brought a handful of toys.  Anyway, Carter started standing of the arm of the sofa and jumping onto the couch while saying "To infinity and beyond!" (which is what Buzz Lightyear says).  He would do this over and over and over again.

And he still says it (this is a video from today at the zoo) ...

On our second day at Magic Kingdom (I'm working on that post now, promise), I saw a short line for Buzz in the Tomorrowland area.  I knew Carter had to meet the character he was imitating all week.  When we got in line, Carter wasn't so sure.  He kept asking me if he was real (I wasn't sure what he wanted to hear so I gave the honest explanation of it's a guy dressed up as Buzz).

When it was our turn, Carter was SO EXCITED.  He went up to Buzz, gave him a five, and told him, "To infinity and beyond!"  Carter was so proud of himself.  These pictures show it all.  I'm so glad to have this little series!
