Made in China

D has been fighting naps since Friday. Since he was sick and had another Dr. appt, only to be put on the same meds for 2 weeks for his sinus infection, I called in our old sitter to come over and stay with him on Friday. I was working from home and just couldn't send him to daycare after he got a flu shot and got blood drawn to test for lead.
He was crying bloody murder for his nap, the same thing happened on Saturday. He never did take a nap that day. My sister and family came over for some pizza and a movie and D was delirious by 6:15!
We ordered pizza and watched as he ran around the room bouncing into things.
Sunday, he tried the same thing but daddy took control and read him a book from outside the crib!
It seemed to have worked, only 20 minutes of talking to himself and then he passed out and woke up so happy...
happy to be a big boy in his booster seat. Yes, we still had him in a high chair. It was convenient to keep him occupied in there and trapped. But the kitchen is starting to get cramped, with the borrowed table from my mom taking so much space, the high chair had to go.
He was thrilled!
Notice everything around him is from the movie CARS! Grandpa and Grandma just bought him a CD player in the shape of...
what else
Lightning McQueen
The tires sticking out are speakers, isn't that neat?!
Speaking of investing 25% of our paychecks towards Disney products such as cars, bath wash, utensils, etc. About 7 months ago when we were living in our rental and desperate for some normalcy we bought D a Cars car that changes color in Warm/Cold water. We didn't even know it at the time that the car was a character from the movie. We enjoyed for about 3 weeks as the car changed colors from red to yellow and back. Then it died. We figured with daily baths it did its job. Since then we bought another car that changed the color ONCE! I mean it changed and did not change back. Today I bought Lightning McQueen in hopes that the Matel product would give us at least 3 weeks worth of yellow/red/yellow/red magic.
It changed to yellow alright (seen above) but never back to red. We tried cold/warm/hot/icy cold and NOTHING!!! We even tried to read any directions that we might be messing up but the picture and words on the back of ICY COLD changes colors and WARM changes it back pretty much described our actions. Pretty simple to follow, but nope. $5.99 I'll never see again, or will I?! I'm planning to write a letter to Matel in Ontario, Canada who makes the product in China that they suck and my poor baby watched in amazement then confusion as the darn thing stayed yellow.
Nowhere in the movie is there a yellow Lighting McQueen. You can't fool a 2.5 year old, you just can't. His poor little hand was holding that good for nothing racing car under all temperatures and nothing was happening, then he uttered the words that had me looking at the address at the back of the packaging..."broken mommy".
Watch out Ontario Canada, this mama did not pay $5.99 (3 times) and watched her only son devastated and possibly emotionally scared to get nothing out of this.
I'll keep you updated as a settlement is reached and we'll retire on our winnings...or at least get another stinkin car.
