DeLorean

Back To The Future
I have no idea why Zach is so in love with the movies from Back To The Future?? :) He just loves the characters. Marty McFly & Doc Brown are his favorites, the Libyans, Loraine, Biff, and George McFly are also well roll played throughout each day of his play.
I recently found a 1/18 scale die cast model of the DeLorean from the Back to The Future II movie on eBay for a good price. (they want an arm and a leg for those things!) I told Zach what I had bought and that the Mail Man would bring it soon. A few stipulations would apply... Start napping in Mom and Dads bed so Abby could move into her and Zach's room for naps so we could remove the port-a-crib from ours.... And work harder on trying new foods and eating his dinner without all of the power struggles. He has done very well on everything so far.
The DeLorean arrived on Friday. Amy left it on the front porch until I got home from work. The video clip is below. The car is really cool. I want to buy one for myself now. :) Zach has had a ton of fun with it already. He has a little LEGO man who fits inside the car who he had previously named George. George fits the bill for now, but there are actual Back To The Future "Mini Mates" that will fit in the car great! Looks like I'll need to watch those eBay bids for now and the make another deal with Zach. After I finish painting and re-assembling the Pink Barbi Jeep - TURNED - Silver-Chrome and Black DeLorean, I'll post that too. Yikes!! (I'm a little obsessed with all of this too)
