Funny Boys

Mike bought a triathlon suit for the Half Iron Man he just did up at Bear Lake. He tried it on to see how it fit, and Sam's eyes lit up. He ran to his room and came back wearing his wet suit...so excited to be dressed like a super hero! Will didn't want to be left out, but we don't have a wet suit that small, so Mike put him a snow suit. I couldn't stop laughing when he strutted into the kitchen, so happy to be doing exactly what the other boys were doing. I jokingly told Mike I should embroider a belt and an X (like for XMen) on it, and then Sam begged me all afternoon to do the same to his. I still prefer the super hero obsession to Thomas. The next day Sam dressed himself in his wet suit again, but then found Mike's hockey shin guards. It was so exciting! He was a real super hero all day! He calls himself Monster Man (with no influence from his parents, really). Such a silly boy! He introduces himself as Monster Man to everyone he meets, and he has half the people we know calling him that instead of Sam.
