My little super hero...

Micah Man is currently quite obsessed with super heroes. This is very convenient because he has a super hero party coming in the Spring. We made the mistake of letting him watch The Incredibles, which I think is super cute, but I know a lot of moms of young kids that think that it is inappropriate so don't judge. Anyway, he is obsessed. He refers to himself as Dash and he calls me Elasti-girl. Every morning when he wakes up, he asks me if we can go exercise (go to the Y). I finally figured out (after watching him on the little monitors) that he likes to go because they have a Mr. Incredible action figure that he likes to play with. We talked to David the Elf about that one today so hopefully Santa will know to bring him a Mr. Incredible so that we don't have to go exercise as much.

A little story for you about my super hero: Last week, while he was supposed to be napping, I heard a loud noise come from his room. I went in and right as I walked in, I see him jump from the top of his dresser onto his bed. The bed that he has taken all of the bedding off of. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he was "flying like Buzz Lightyear". Half of me was dying laughing and the other half was terrified that he is going to try to jump off of something taller so I explained to him that he can pretend but that he can't really fly. I wish I had gotten a picture of his face. He was totally offended.

Then, today, I was sitting on the floor in the laundry room folding the kids clothes and Micah walked in and sat by me. Then, totally unprompted, he jumped up and said "Mommy, I can help!" and he picked up a pile of his laundry and carried it into his room AND, get this, put it away! I am not even kidding. He is definitely my little super hero!
