Favorite Super Hero

John was reading Daddy a book first thing this morning.  After they were done reading, John came downstairs to see me.  While Daddy went into Gillian's room to snuggle.  I was in the living room and could hear that they were having a conversation.  After a little while, Gillian came downstairs gave me a hug and a kiss and ran away.  I asked Daddy what they were talking about.  He said he was snuggling with Gillian in her bed.  And commented saying "I love this princess room."  Gillian said "It's a super hero room.  Not princess!"  Daddy was a little surprised by her answer, but went with it.  He asked "Who is your favorite super hero?"  She said "Wanda!"  Again, he was taken back by her comment.  And said "You mean the Scarlet Witch?"  She said "Her friends call her Scarlet Witch, but her Wanda!" 

Super hero secrets

John thinks that our family has super powers. Daddy is super strong. John is super fast. Gillian has super whining power. According to John, "She can break glass!" And Mommy can see thru walls. For more information on my powers check out my post on February 18th called Superheroes.

Last night while John was in the shower, I said to him, don't forget to wash your hair. He said "I'm washing my hair now! How did you know? Oh that's right! You can see thru walls!"

Today I was dropping the kids off at school and John ran down the hallway super fast. He stopped turned to me with a serious face, and said "Mommy. You can't tell anyone about our powers. It's a secret! No one can know!"

Superheroes

We have two rubber duckies. One is just yellow with a blue bow. The other duckie is a superhero. He has a mask and a cape. Gillian has decided that the one with the bow is "Mommy Duck" and the one with the cape is "Daddy Duck." I thought it was just Gillian, but John agrees too. I had a huge argument with the kids explaining that I should be the superhero duck. I explained that my kisses heal all boo-boos, I have super strength, and I can see behind my back. The kids didn't fall for it.

Daddy talked to them about it tonight while they were taking a bath. John said "Mommy doesn't have real powers. Daddy and I have real super powers. I am super fast and Daddy is super strong!" I again said I can see behind my back. John says "OK, what's behind you?" I said a towel on a hook. He wasn't impressed. Daddy got up and stood in between John and I. He said "I know. I'll hold up fingers behind my back and Mommy will tell us how many I am holding up." Daddy held up fingers behind his back while also mouthing to me the number. I told John the number of fingers was four. You should have seen his face! He was so surprised. We did this a couple of times until we finally convinced John that I can see thru things. He is now impressed with my superhero skills. He said "So I'm super fast and Daddy is super strong. And Mommy can see thru things. Mommy, can you see my bones?" Maybe we went too far.
