Dear Iron Man,

My torment continues!  I had to run to the store yesterday, and of course, we headed to the “Man Now Store” (Target.  Walmart is the “Man now and Food Store”).  Dean was so hoping to find the “green Man Now” (Titanium Man) or “bad guy” (Ivan “Whiplash” Vanko)… but it was not to be.  I figured that I might get out of the store without another action figure, but it was not in the cards.  My little boy was just crushed… I think those are the only two action figures we do not have, and seeing a little three year old search for them and not find them is rough.

It is so cute to see him look through the lines of action figures.

“Man Now?  Man Now?”  He would call.

“Mama, no bad guy!”  He told me after we looked through all the stacks.

“I know, baby.  Why don’t we go look at the Lego’s?”  I thought perhaps they would have something that would catch his eye.

Oh, how wrong I was!  Lego’s do not compare to Iron Man.

He found an action figure he already had, but they were on sale, and he was so happy to have it that I just didn’t mind.  We walked into the house, and Roy took one look at it and sighed - though that could be his amazingly painful sinus infection talking.

“You already have this one, buddy.”  Roy told our son, who was pushing him to open his “new” action figure.

“Dada, my Man Now.”  Dean shook the case at his father. Roy’s signal to open it.

Roy smiled and opened the container for Dean.  My little boy was thrilled, even though I think we have two of that action figure already.

If I could just find the green one and Ivan, our collection would be complete!!  I am really tempted to buy him the Iron Man 2 bedding set, but wouldn’t you know… Target didn’t have that one either!

Signed,
