My Quirky Son

James is obsessed with Toy Story. Jack was obsessed with it when he was little too, but he outgrew it when he was about 7, which was right around when James picked it up. Jack was a die-hard Buzz Lightyear fan, James is Team Woody, or, Jessie in a pinch. I'm sure you've seen Woody lurking somewhere in just about every picture I post of James. These are a few of James Woody dolls that I saved in his special box for when he's an adult. My favorite is zombie Woody with no arms. We replace Woody pretty regularly, probably one every 6-8 weeks, depending on whether or not James is teething. We went through 3 in a month when his adult molars came in last fall lol. I spend a lot of time sewing them back up and replacing their stuffing because they are expensive to replace, usually about $35 a pop. He got some new Woody's in December.....a friend of ours works in the souvenir business and has a friend at Disney, who got us 14 Woody dolls at cost, and kindly mailed them to us in time for Christmas :) Cost means we only paid like $14 for them, which is a huge savings for us. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we do have the Best friends, Thanks again, guys! The video of him opening them is kind of hilarious lol!

James' love of Woody and Toy Story has been long running, and he's a fixture in our household, just like he was for Andy in the Toy Story movies. When James was little, he used to recreate scenes from the movie. I did a post about it that you can read here:

I think that's about all for this post, Thanks for reading and being a part of our lives for a bit. I've really been trying to be more open about how autism affects our lives since it's Autism Awareness month. The last post was a little sad, so hopefully this one makes up for it :)

Cheers!
