"A cowboy without his hat is a like yodle without a hey he hoo!" How annoying is that 20 times a day!

I am not sure why it happened this way. I guess I must love Toy Story paraphernalia. But Bo ended up with almost every single present: Toy Story. I am sure it was more for me than him since he was terrified during the movie, but I couldn't help it. It was all so cute. Toy Story bed spread and plush dolls, Toy Story 3 movie, Toy Story Lego set, Toy Story play set, And Toy Story Woody doll.

LOVE HIM!

But later I really started regretting the Woody doll.

You know how you are just looking for that one "it" present that your kid would just adore? And if you knew what the "it" present was ahead of time you could save yourself a lot of the hoopla? Well after I bought the woody doll I realized I had been suckered in by the thrill of a sale and he probably would end up unplayed with... just like Incredible Hulk was a few years ago. And Bumble Bee. And The Fashion Run way Design Set.

But happily I was wrong. Bo is LOVING his "cowboy".... See?

Justine and Corey caught Bo writing his name on the bottom of Woody. With a ball point pen. We gave him a Sharpie to make it official, Woody has a boy! Happy days.

UPDATE: Some things are just too good to last.

A naughty big brother propelled Woody down the stairs. A heart was broken tonight. It was mine. I couldn't find a replacement in town. I shouldn't be so indulgent. But I just can't stand the thought of him having that bad memory. Rhett or Bo. Plus he was loving Woody so very much. It was his "it"toy. Don't tell Corey, but I am going to check online. I almost cried. When Woody died. :) :(

Susan said...: Mary McDowell... I LOVE Woody and the fact Bo wrote his name on the boot, I wonder if Talan did that to his..he got his last yr. I think...poor Woody, I know Target and the Disney store had him, they will again soon..
Kim Heinke... Oh bummer! Rachel still loves her Toy Story dolls (even wrote her name on Woody and Jessie's boots.) We would all be sad if any of them broke. I'm so sorry for Bo. Best of luck finding a replacement, Susan. I know you can do it!
C. Kent Chamberlain... The breakers should be the buyers, but have you tried first aid. Duct tape comes in several colors. I have red, brown, blue and that would make Woody more than run of the mill.
Nancy Chamberlain... I feel bad for Bo. I can relate to how he feels. I am sure you have heard my sad story so I won't repeat it!; March 13, 2016 at 12:34 PM

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
