Tobin loves to dress up and also loves to pretend he's a super hero. Last weekend, I made him a hero's cape to help join these two loves. Here's the result:
Showing off his muscles. He gets a serious look on his face and says in a loud voice: "I'm super Tobin, with the power to help!" How's that for creative mothering in getting my toddler to clean up toys or do toddlerish chores around the house?!? I must say I'm a little proud of myself on that one! :)
Here's the back of the cape as he's running/flying down the hall.
We are having a great time having Matt officially off for the summer. Throughout June he was busy teaching his Upward Bound class at UNT plus getting involved with his volleyball coaching. This is the first week we haven't had anything scheduled and it's been wonderful! On Friday, we're going to get the moped we've been planning on getting. Matt will ride it to and from work next year in an effort to save gas money, do a little to help the environment, and to have fun while we're at it! This is the one we want:
Cute, huh? I think it's awesome and will be so fun to tootle around town in!

Absolutely love the cape! Tobin truly is a super kid! Love you, MiMi
That cape and and his motto to help is the cutest thing I've seen! You could do theme parties - a super hero cake and a cape for the birthday boys! :) cynthia
