Ben decided this weekend that since Mommy always "gets to" (ie does frequently) buy Griffin toys, that it was his turn. So he took Griff for a "daddy toy" shopping spree. What did they come home with (and go a little over budget with)? A Lightening McQueen car...that Griff can actually DRIVE. Ever since we watched the movie Cars in the car when driving down to my parents recently, Griff gasps whenever he sees anything Lightening McQueen...so this find was perfect! After surviving the initial (extreme) meltdown after seeing his car out of the box...and not understanding that it needed time for the battery to charge before it could be driven...he took it for a tool around the yard. And no, we were not able to make the "recommended" initial 18-hour charge!!!
Realizing his new machine has some get-up...whoa!

To this point, all of Griff's cars have been self-propelled, so he is very used to pushing, pulling, or using his feet to move them. It's taking some time for him to understand that this car is different and moves with the push of a button. Thus, he often gets out to supplement the power by pushing.Here's a short video of the learning curve:
What else did Griff bring home this weekend? Meet Gilbert ("Gill") Pucci, the newest addition to the family. Griff is very enamored with Gill and will gasp and point periodically (as if he had forgotten Gill was there) at the bowl.
