Jason's Dad come over Tuesday to watch Zander while I was at my doctor's appointment. Before I left, he wanted to take Zander to the toy store to buy some Hot Wheels. I personally think he is too little for them, but Papa was all set & ready to buy them anyway. As a child, I never played with hot wheels. Not that I would've had my own, but my brothers did not have any. So, I didn't really understand what was so great about them. Jason & Adam (his brother), however, did have them as kids, so Bill knew how much they liked them and was anxious for Zander to have some. So, we headed to the store to buy them. Papa picked out a set and some extra cars to go with it. Zander was excited to be at the toy store and was busy running through, looking at all the toys. He had fun playing with the construction cars & Cars Movie cars on the isle while Papa was looking at the hot wheels. After Papa found what he wanted, they played with the Hulk Hands, punching each other with them. Than they had a great time pressing all the buttons on the Wall-E figures and watching them all talk at the same time. As we were heading out, Zander found the motorized cars and had to stop to get in and try those out as well. We convinced him to leave and headed out.
As I was at the doctor, Bill tried to set up the hot wheels and play with Zander. Apparently, he didn't get very far. Zander thought it was more fun to beat up Papa with the track instead of putting it together. Zander doesn't have very much patience and he really like to wrestle and play fight with Papa, so that's what he did. Bill managed to get some track put together and attached a launch to it that Zander enjoyed playing with. I came home expecting to see the hot wheels all set up in the living room. But they were not. Zander had gone down for a nap and Papa had put them all back in the box.
When Jason came home, he tried to set them up as well. He was not very successful, Zander became impatient and would not let him finish. Jason was getting frustrated and decided to out them away. Later on in the evening, Zander was visiting Mimi at her house and Daddy was able to set the track up. Zander came home and he had a great time playing with them. So, maybe now he will enjoy them more. If we are able to set them up again. Here are a few pictures of Zander playing with them after Daddy finally got them all set up.

Wow cool track, glad he finally got to enjoy it once it got setup. Dave has a hotwheel collection in the attic and our kids have a ton of the cars already. Sometimes we draw roads on the sidewalk with chalk and play with them outside.
Too little for hotwheels? Puh-shaw :D
