On the days when we have no where to go, one of the kids' favorite pastimes is playing superheroes. Sadie usually needs nothing more than her brother's permission to play along. Jackson almost always needs a superhero costume. We have a decent supply--Superman, Spiderman, SuperRobot (actually, it's an astronaut costume, but since Jackson got it a couple of years ago, he's called it his robot costume because it's easier to pronounce than astronaut), along with various capes, masks and other superhero necessities. And while they use the costumes pretty regularly, he just as regularly makes up his own version of a superhero costume.
Like this one:
Now, I know what you're thinking. There is no superhero costume here. Silly reader. If you look closely, you'll see all the components of a true superhero costume: a cape, shirt, "run-fast shoes," pants, and raincoat (okay, so I don't get the raincoat either. It's got superheroes on it. Don't judge.). Admittedly, I was confused about the underwear over the pants. That's when my son explained to me in his "oh, my poor feeble minded mother" voice that ALL superheroes wear their underwear over their pants. Duh. Very observant, that boy of mine.
