goodbye, marble run. hello, lightning mcqueen!

It is with great sadness that I report that I think the little man might be phasing out of his marble-run obsession. It has been days, maybe weeks since we've made a marble run. Which doesn't sound too odd unless you consider that we used to make like six or seven a day. On top of that, the word "marble" or "marble run" used to come out of his mouth about 14,789 times a day. It's like the marble-run switch was suddenly turned off and another one was turned on.

What switch was turned on? The cars switch. More specifically the "Cars" switch. As in that Pixar movie featuring Lightning McQueen. While Mama was in Wisconsin a few weekends ago, Papa and Elian had a boys' weekend with movie night. That's when they watched the movie Cars for the first time. Now we spend our days racing his Matchbox cars across the hardwood floor and smashing them into the entryway door. Awesome.

Also awesome? Look what he's getting when he fills up his sticker chart.
