Gotham City

We had Bruce Wayne’s 3rd birthday party today. He and 4 of his little school friends had fun dressing up as superheroes, rescuing animals in trouble, eating cake and ice cream and spending time cooling off in the pool and sprinkler. Holy heat and humidity Batman!
My friend made this DARLING Wonder Woman costume for Kennedy with some leftovers from her own WW costume from Halloween. Kennedy has been all but obsessed with Wonder Woman lately and loved throwing her truth lasso around everyone to illicit any wrongdoings and zooming around in her invisible jet. A most humorous event at the party was the surprise arrival of “Super Poppy”.

Fun Superhero Fact #1: Wonder Woman's earrings provide her with oxygen, allowing her to breathe in outer space.

Fun Superhero Fact #2: Batman had a dog and his name was Ace the Bat-hound

Big E

Nearly 3.

• My little man is convinced he’ll be six on his birthday.
• He adores his big sister but also terrorizes her daily.
• He is known for his coy smile and his clever little antics.
• He is funny and friendly and tells a great story.
• He is hard on himself and seeks perfection saying, “that was NOT a good throw”.
• He says the cutest little three year old things like, “I see a motorcycle with my big blue eyes”.
• He asks me every morning, “What are we going to do today, Mommy?”
• He loves his little blue-blue blanky and actually enjoys nap time and bed time.
• He is obsessed with cars, trucks, motorcycles, shooting fire, roaring dinosaurs, super heroes, baseball, football, golf and hockey.
• He rides his trike like he’s riding in the Tour de France leaning in to each turn and with a look of determination on his face.
• He has important things to say and when he says them he grabs you by the cheeks so you are looking him right in the eyes.
• He loves fruits and veggies and starts most meals off with eating those first.
• He has a fierce growl (literally)
• He has an intensity about him like no other 3 year old. The look, the concentration…when on task, he is one focused little guy.

Happy birthday (5 days early) E man!

We have a crazy week coming up and we will be out of town for his actual birthday so this pre-birthday post is my attempt to pay homage to my little-big man.
