Don't be Deceived by Appearances

These next few photos may all look like Tanner, but don't be deceived because he'll make sure you get it right.

Picture 1 is, in fact, Tanner

Picture 2 is Buzz Lightyear

and picture 3 is Traitor

Such subtal little difference between pictures 2 and 3 that I'm sure some may not even notice. I, however, have been corrected enough times I look very carefully at my boy before addressing him by name for Traitor has a belt and Buzz Lightyear does not. He will not answer to Tanner when in costume and is sure to correct you when you get Buzz and Traitor wrong. As displayed by the picture below, the belt is sinched to the max. He sucks in really hard, then pulls that belt so it looks like he is sinching his belly to his spine before he locks it in place. Really, I'm not sure how he even breaths, let alone jump from the roof yelling out "To infinity, and beyond!"

He wears the costume everyday, everywhere and truly, truly believes he is Buzz Lightyear when he is wearing it. One day Kason came over and Tanner was in costume. He met Kason at the door and said, "Don't worry Kason, it's not really Buzz Lightyear, it's me, Tanner" as he pulled off the hood. I don't know if Kason gave him a perplexed look, but Tanner felt the need to take the entire costume off to really convince Kason he was Tanner and not Buzz. Ha ha!!
He also watches the movie any day I'll let him and re-enacts the Entire thing. If he has the costume on, he acts out Buzz, but otherwise he watches the show with the toys and uses them to act it out! Love that kid.

And if you think this is something new and cute, wrong. It has been going on for about 3 months and shows no sign of slowing down.
