Oh, The Webs We Weave!

Spider man is real and he is living in our house. I'm not sure what kind of crimes that are actually being solved but I know chaos is lurking, and action is most certainly on the agenda. Our once favorite character, Buzz Lightyear, has faded into the background and made way for our new favorite, you guessed it, SPIDERMAN. So what do we do to keep this insanity at bay? Nothing. We feed into the obsession by downloading the Spiderman song for car rides, buy ridiculous Spiderman paraphernalia, and get costumes for Harrison to wear around the house while shooting invisible spiderwebs from his hands. On top of that, we use empty threats like: "I won't let you wear your Spiderman shoes, sunglasses, t-shirt, and underwear if you don't start behaving!" Brilliant parenting, I know.

He has always been a climber so it is no surprise that he prefers to climb in character and in costume. I can even say that I will not be surprised to walk into a room one day and see him scaling a wall or even a ceiling. In fact, I'm shocked I haven't seen that yet. Brooks is always entertained when Spidey is on the loose. She smiles and laughs as he jumps all over the place and swings on to his next adventure. I know she is eagerly awaiting her turn to move about as her brother does and I am thrilled that I still have a few more months before she is able to do just that. There is never a dull moment around here.
