What's all the BUZZ about?

James has been on this insane Toy Story kick since he was about.... oh... 14 months old. We took him to see Toy Story 3 this summer and he loved it. He loves anything involving Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

One morning I woke up to him calling "Wooooooodeee, Woooodeeeeee, Woooooodeeeee." He was apparently missing. And his little call was like a mother desperately searching for her lost child in the woods.

The first year we had our miniature beagel, I bought him a Buzz Lightyear costume on super duper clearance. And since then (it had been 4 years or so) it was stashed somewhere in the hallway closet.

After we came home from watching the movie, Michael scrounged high and low and found it. These are the events that took place thereafter:

Never before have I seen him this crazy about anything. He flew around the house screaming, "And Beyond!" Terrorizing the dog along his path, climbing up the couch, jumping off, rolling on the floor, laughing his little bum off. Amazingly, it fit him like a glove - except around the neck area where it was clearly made for a four-legged animal and not an untrained, diaper-wearing, toddler.

But it wouldn't be the first time we've dressed our children in animals clothing:

(It was Janalee's idea, I swear it. And yes, that is James at about 2 weeks old.)
