As many as he is allowed to buy. Victor loves toy cars, trucks and trains. He plays with them, takes them to places, puts them under his pillow and sleeps with them. Sometimes he gets into trouble, playing with the toys during supper, and almost knocks over the dishes. He cries when we take his toys away, but he'll be fine when Yang gives him a big hug. We often go to the One Dollar Store to buy the toy cars. They cost a dollar; some come with a package of three. Once we got him a fire truck, tow truck and a police car, all for one dollar. Once a while we go to a drug store and buy him five dollar cars; they are slightly bigger. He has race cars, small trucks, passage cars, vans, garbage trucks and others. He has cars in red, yellow, green, purple, and many other colors. He has tiny cars, small cars, and larger size cars. We have his cars everywhere. Victor is learning to share his toys with Oliver. He chooses a few for Oliver to play when Oliver comes to the house. Still, he carefully guards his toy cars, causing some conflicts when they both want to play with the same cars.

How Many Toy Cars Victor Must Have?

Victor can tell the minute differences among all his toy cars. Every time we go out he discovers some cars that he doesn’t have and desperately wants. At home he asks me to fetch/find a specific car and describes it in such detail that I know he has it etched in his mind.
Oliver, being two years younger, isn’t entitled to the huge collection of toy cars. He is bestowed the less desirable cars by his elder brother. Value isn’t the selection criteria; Victor tends to give away large clumsy cars and hoard the slick matchbox cars. Oliver doesn’t contest much. But he often wakes up from a nightmare, crying and shouting, accusing Victor of fighting with him about a toy car or a plastic ball.
Life is full of strive, even for these little angels.
