Life is a Highway

Life IS a Highway and Coop wants to ride it all night long. Cooper LOVES, Loves. LOOOOVES the movie Cars. He has several of the car characters (mainly as a replacement when we thought we had lost his beloved Race Car) and he likes to reenact some of the scenes as he watches the movie. His favorite character is definitely Mack. He's a BiiiGGG truck so it was love at first sight. Mack is his buddy and was his "big brother" gift from my Mom and Dad while they were here. Cooper sleeps with Mack every night.

Because of this Mack love, he also loves Rascal Flatts. They sing the song that is played in the movie when Mack hits the Highway with Lightning McQueen. Cooper often DEMANDS that we sing Life is a Highway for him. It doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing at that particular moment. You just better SING it or you have some serious explaining to do.

Today Cooper started singing the song to himself. Phew...maybe his love for singing the song will take some of the heat off of us. We purchased the song on iTunes and now it's often played on a constant shuffle. I've never really been a Rascal Flatts fan, but if they make the kid this happy then consider me a fan. Although you might want to check back with me in a couple of days........

I really like those little characters. Lucas fell in love with Cars too. And the Dr's office has bandaids with the Cars characters on them so it was very exciting for him. Cooper is soooo sweet. I love that little guy!

What a cute little guy. I love how he's groovin' in the chair while the music is going. His 'do, do, do, do's" are really funny between to words too! Hey Mom hope this song is growing on you! :)
