Here’s a rough timeline of Castor’s obsessions by year.

[2015] Thomas the train -> Bob the Builder -> Paw Patrol -> Transformers [2019]

As you can see, his current obsession is with the Transformers. Personally, I miss the Paw Patrol days, as I wasn’t ready to move on. Far too much time, emotion and resources had been dedicated to the show, in terms of characters, toys, apparel etc. One day we were ever so deeply invested in the pups, when suddenly, his dad introduced him to the power of the primes. Since then everything changed. Now, we eat transformers, breath transformers and sleep transformers. Recently, I was told, “Mommy, Optimus Prime is cool, and you’re not”. Okay, kiddo whatever. Does he feed you? Comfort you? Play with you? No. A big resounding no. Anyway, I should know better than to take it too far, with this obsession, it’s just a phase and sooner or later it will be replaced with something else. Or do I? This is us for Halloween. Two Optimus Primes! I went on my own and bought the adult costume for dad, but he insists he’ll be a werewolf instead. So here I am, saving the world with Castor! Gone are the days of trying to look somewhat cute. Never thought, I’d be dressing up as a male super hero for Halloween. Ha.
