Giving blogging a try

I'm the mom of a 5 year old and 2 year old. I have a husband and a yorkie. That in itself doesn't seem like it would be interesting enough for a blog, and maybe it's not. But at least once everyday my kids do something that's recordable. Whether it's funny, silly, mean, stupid or frustrating if I don't have a record of it I'm afraid I'll forget it. So this blog's main purpose is to provide me with a place to write what crazy things happened to me that day and if someone is entertained in the process then that's even better!

I'll start with the story of Peter Parker aka Cade. For awhile now Cade has said he's the "real" Spiderman. I thought it was cute and he had a good imagination. The transformation into Spiderman started slowly. He'd say "Mom, did you know I can climb walls b/c I have tiny spikes in my fingers?" "See those webs? I did that." He'd see a picture of Spiderman and say "Hey, that's me!" Innocent enough, right? Now we've progressed. At a visit to the doctor last week he told her he changed every day. One day he was Cade then next he's Peter Parker. So of course he wants to be Spiderman for Halloween. We bought the costume a couple days ago. I'm not sure the costume will actually hold up until Halloween. In the store "Peter" was pretending to flip backwards, cling to walls and shoot webs. Imagine walking through an aisle of Target only to have a 5 year old flip in front of you and shoot you with a pretend web. I'm sure people thought he was nuts. Since then he has not taken off the costume and has not stopped fighting the Green Goblin. That Goblin is in the bathtub, at the dinner table, in Cade's room, in the garage, everywhere Cade goes apparantly so does the Green Goblin. Well then, if the Goblin is there then of course Spiderman has to do something about it. Oh and then there's the constant watching and quoting of the Spiderman movie. Cade is a tv/movie watcher and he's always gone through phases where he wanted to watch the same movie over and over for a week and then he'd move onto the next. This is more than that. He watches Spiderman and memorizes it. He quotes along with the movie and does the same moves at the same time as the person in the movie. I really think my 5 year old has his first obsession. I don't know how long it will last but for now when I tuck him into bed I say "Good night, Peter."
