Boogity Boogity Boys, Let's Go Racin'!

If I had a nickel for every time Jack yelled this phrase over the course of any given day, I'd easily be able to afford that new washer and dryer I have been ogling. But I digress...

Around our house, toys from the movie "Cars" have taken center stage. Now, don't think for a minute that his love for dinosaurs has dissipated - it's just that now (in Jack's world at least), Radiator Springs occasionally has a friendly neighborhood T-Rex. It actually works out quite nicely!

I love to just sit back and watch him play. I really could just observe that little mind whirling all day long. It is fascinating to watch him re-create scenes from the movie, complete with conversations between characters. And perhaps even more fascinating is when he makes Mater, Sally, Lightning McQueen and the rest of the gang re-create conversations that have taken place in our day. (Whoever said "Once they start talking, they don't stop talking" sure knew what they were talking about.) He also likes to pretend the he is Lightning and I am Chick Hicks - of course, that means that we have to chase each other through the house while yelling, "Kapow, Kachow!" and Cachigga, Cachigga!". Too funny. I thought I would share some of the things I have heard over the last several weeks while I can still remember them!













From the movie:

• Hey there, stickers!
• Boogity Boogity Boys, let's go racin'!
• Low and slooooooooow..
• Let's cruise, baby!
• I'm a tomato in a trailer part! (This, of course, is from Mater saying, "I am happier than a tornado in a trailer park!")
• We are back in business!
• Pit. Stop.
• Well, Daaaaaaaadguuuuuuum!
• I am speed.
• Sting like a beaver! (from "Float like a cadillac, sting like a beamer!")
  

And recreated from our daily life:

• (Insert character), have you pooped in your diaper? Do you need me to change it? Mommy, (insert character) needs a kween diaper!
  
• No hitting! We do not hit! Now, say you're sorry and give him a hug. "I'm sorry." "That's ok."
• I am in charge. You are not in charge. Do you understand?
• Night, night Lightning. No talking, no yelling, no screaming, no playing. Close your eyes and go to sleep. You want the door open or kwosed? Open? Ok, how 'bout right here? Dat be awwight? (as he puts Lightning to bed, recreating our nightly ritual. This, in particular, is hysterical.)
• Mater, you are a sweet boy. You are a big strong boy.
  
• Sally, we can't go outside (he pronounces this "aht-soid" - it is hilarious!). It's waining aht-soid! No, it's too hot aht-soid! No, Sally, there's cat poop in the sandbox and it's yucky!
  

I know that there is more to share but at the moment this is all I can call to memory. I wish I could share video, because hearing his little voice and the way he says things is just too much!




Hope everyone is having a beautiful summer!
