Connor is fixated on "Lightning McQueen Caaar" as most know. You wonder if he has surgically attached the car to his hand. He repeats the phrase "Lightning McQueen Car" all day-to where Tom likened it to the Smurfs cartoon, where smurf can mean anything. Instead of blue half dressed creatures, it's race cars.Mommy: "Hi Connor!"
Connor: "No, Lightning Queen Caaar!" (the word sounding very East Coast)
Mommy: "Do you want some breakfast?"
Connor: "Lightning Queen Caaar!"
Mommy: "Cheerios?"
Connor: "Mommy?"
Mommy: "Yes, Connor?"
Connor: "LIGHTNING MCQUEEN CAR!"
You can play spot the car in any of the photos. Some are McQueen, some are random cars. He also requests the Cars theme song, "Real Gone" and sings the opening guitar chords throughout the day. Sheryl Crow, I hope you're listening.
Connor: "Mommy....Lightning McQueen Car...pick?" (pointing with a very sharp, repeated gesture at the tv, similar to those guys who wave airplanes to their parking spots. )Mommy: "You want to pick?"
Connor: "Yyyyessss! Lightning McQueen Car!"
Mommy: "You want to see Cars-again?" I have lost count how many times we have watched. My brain automatically begins shut down mode when it's on.
Connor: "YYYYESSS! Lightning McQueen Car! Where?!? Where go?"
Mommy: "I'm putting it in the tv. It's right here."
Connor: "Yay, Mommy! Lightning McQueen Car!"
Last week, Rick and Cindy watched Connor for awhile and when I picked him up, the movie Cars was on the tv and what appeared to be every Cars car that the Wines family owned strewn out on their living room floor. They know how to keep him happy.
Most visitors are lately greeted with a "Hi, Julie!" (everyone is Julie now) and then "Lightning McQueen Car!" It makes you wonder if he will ever give up his Cars phase or if he will always enjoy cars.He has no fear, so race car driving may not be off the table.

He greets everyone that way?
And here I was, thinking how cool it was when he called me Julie last time I saw him. Little did I know, that's the universal name :D
Between you and Julie the developmental therapist-I think he got into his head that all women who aren't Mommy are Julie.
It is a good name!
He's so darned cute. I can just hear him saying Caaaah, like we do! LOL
Love the little racer outfit! My son had one for Halloween a LONG time ago. His dad worked for an oil co. and we went to the races a LOT for business.
He's so cute. Race car driver would throw fear into MY heart, though.
I'll confess that the red race driver outfit was him being the pit crew-and I bought a ton of Cars movie stickers and plastered them all over it.
your story reminded me of Ian calling me grandma - your boys like latching onto a name :)
