Superheros of our household

Before Bennett could even talk he sang the song from the first Toy Story movie where Buzz is at Sid's house and tries to fly through the open window to escape but falls and breaks his arm. He loves that song which is interesting because it's a sad song, nevertheless it was one of the first ones he learned to sing. I think it's because he focuses on the part that goes "But no! It can't be true! I can fly if I wanted to..."  
I know I'm not the world's best singer, probably not even my neighborhood's best. Okay I stink, but my kids love it and that's all that matters. 

And lately Casel has been really into Spiderman. He'll sing the original Spidey song all on his own with a few made up words but the melody's right and you can pick up a few right words in the right places. 
 But he wouldn't cooperate when I tried to get him to sing on camera so I got this cute shot of him in his spidey suit instead. And yes, he still drinks a bottle, so shoot me. Not as bad as the 4 year old we saw today at the Enchanted forest sucking on a binkie!

Lately when I brush out the poof that is Magooly's hair he request a "Superman curl" he calls it.  This is how he prefers his hair lately (which lasts 10 seconds).

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
