BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!

It's been awhile, but I figured you guys needed a break after that massive post from Maine last month....
Just before we went to Maine, actually, I got a present from Mom and Dad (using a Christmas gift card to Toys r Us from some very generous friends) it was something I had been hoping for and dreaming of for a long time...

Are you ready for this one? My very own...

BUZZ...

LIGHTYEAR....

TOY!

Look at this thing! We went to Toys r Us and picked out the Buzz Lightyear that I wanted (it came in a spaceship box JUST like the Toy Story movie!

I got to pick out the one I wanted (it even came with a certificate of authenticity! It's my very first certificate of authenticity!

Look at this guy! He's just like the one in the movie! He talks and moves, and has gadgets, and his wings pop up, and he makes flying sounds, and his head moves, and his helmet pops open, and his communicator and laser REALLY work (well at least as much as they did in the movie. As Woody the Cowboy wisely noted, Buzz is "JUST....A...TOY!!!!"
I can't tell you how super psyched I was to have this guy....

It's a lot of fun to play with, and he was actually a great travel companion both in the car going to Maine and while I was there. Now...I bet he'd like a Woody doll to play with...
