Spiderman


So, most people who know me know I am not a fan of characters. Meaning, I don't really allow (or want) my kids to wear things (clothes) that have characters on them. I have always thought it was cheesy, meant for babies, and cheap looking. Now fast forward nearly four years, and I have a little boy OBSESSED with Spiderman all of a sudden. My brother accidentally bought the Spiderman 3 movie last year and gave it to Ethan. He had no interest in it. A year later, he is wanting to watch it 24/7. He wants Spiderman everything! He cried when I asked him what sweatshirt he wanted to wear and he said "spiderman" and I told him, "you don't own a spiderman sweatshirt." Well I guess I have caved... I so long for Ethan to be as "normal" as possible and I see other kids liking super heroes, so I gave in. I have bought him spiderman stuff. I know, it was a big step for me! My mom was shocked! Now, let's not be crazy, he can only wear the spiderman shirts as pajamas, but he is happy. And I am happy as well, that he is doing things that other three year olds do!
Oh and as a side note, those sweatshirt were purchased by Kathi (with my blessing!)

I too have a hard time with this one. We only wear them in the house too! If I let my husband do the shopping it would be head to toe spidy! They look adorable in anything!
