All these words can be used to describe the relationship that Aiden has with his Lightning McQueen car. It's with him at all times. He has a few "Lightnings" but the beat up and dinged one is his most favorite. Naps are even taken with Lightning in hand. We have battles with Grandma on days Aiden goes to her house because Lightning and his gang must tag along for the day. By the time I come to pick him up most are "lost" and the hunt begins. Recently it took Grandma two days of searching to find them all. In case you were wondering they were found in the spare room, under the bed, surrounded by blocks.

Isn't it funny the things they attach themselves to? I hope that the "special" Lightning never gets lost or you might have a very unhappy household. LOL
What a great story to preserve! I love it.
Aiden's favorite Lightning looks just like Christopher's favorite Lightning!! Dings, chipped paint, and all!!
