My Little Superman

With the recent release of the movie, Superman; this came to mind, to share with all. Paul was very much into the Super hero's and his room was filled with many of his hero's'. The first Superman movie, staring Christopher Reeve was in the theaters. The rage in sleepwear was comic-like pagamas. So, off to K-Mart for the newest P.J.'s for our Paul. He was thrilled to have those P.J.'s and wore them "all" the time!
It was close to Paul's birthday and so I made a Superman cake, for him, family, and friends to share....he was thrilled! His birthday is in January and he turned 3years old. The months went by and October came, along with Halloween. To no surprise to us, Paul wanted to be dressed as...Superman! With his P.J.'s in hand we needed to finish the costume. I made a cape, found some tights, red boots and a mask. He loved that costume! Halloween was just around the corner and Paul was so excited to go out, for all to see. Paul wore those P.J.'s to bed and in the morning we would find him with them on and all the attire of his costume. He ate his breakfast and wanted to go out in the back, to pretend he was, The Superman of all times. We watched from the window to see him fly with his arms extended, around the perimeter of the yard. We even went across the street to show one his favorite neighbors just how proud he was to be, Superman. I really think his Mom was the proudest!!!!
Halloween came and Paul was so excited, he wore the costume all day, minus the mask; as it seemed uncomfortable while wearing it. I made the holes on the mask a bit bigger for him to see better, and off he and his dad went. I decided to stay home and hand out candy. This was actually, Paul's first venture out for Halloween. He was off holding his dad's hand....but really, I thought, he was flying high! Bill said at one point with the mask on and Paul's big eyes peering through, he was ready to come back home. Off to bed he went and I'm sure his dreams were of his Superhero. My thoughts were and to this day.....Paul is our Superhero....
