Iron Man


Jack has a new best friend. It's Iron Man. It never ceases to amaze me that this kid seems to know all the super heroes without seeing the movies or the cartoons. He loves his Iron Man toy. Every time he saw it at the store, he begged for it. After several weeks of this, I gave in and bought it.

Jack was thrilled. For the last couple of months, the Iron Man has been his favorite toy. Jack plays with it constantly. He shows it around the house. He puts it in his high chair and feeds it. He likes to take it's picture with the camera. He sleeps with it every night. Jack even insists on taking it with us in the car, but wants me to buckle it in the seat next to him.

We recently recorded the movie on TV and let Jack watch it. Once we fast forward past the parts that are too violent (or too boring) for Jack, we found he can watch the whole movie in about 30 minutes...not bad. That seems to have only increased his obsession. Last week I bought him an Iron Man action figure. WOW! That was a hit. Now he has his little iron man and his big iron man. He loves it. I love that when he says "Iron Man" it sounds like he is saying "fire man."

We are big fans of Iron Man over here too. Evan has a silver one that talks - he's had it for about a year and it's still one of his favorite toys.

Iron man IS cool. I love that he is seat belted in the car.
