These days, if you ask Charlie what he wants to be when he grows up he will probably tell you: “Mom, I gonna be Captain America when I grow up.” For those of you who are unfamiliar with Captain America (I mean come on aren’t we all up to speed with the superheroes of 2011) , .., anyways- I have included a visual!
Charlie is really obsessed with all super heroes these days and pretty much has a melt down if his superhero pj’s are in the washing machine! It is very important to him to stay as bonded as possible with these “dudes”! He has been spotted sleeping in his Iron Man Mask and thinks his Spiderman Water Web Shooter (THANKS Beth & Michael) helps make all the trees in the backyard grow big and strong!
Anyways- Charlie doesn’t ask to hold Brother Ben often. ( He is too busy being a superhero to be bothered with such a task as holding a baby!) However, the other night when he did ask to hold Brother Ben, I jumped all over this chance. At the moment that this happened, I still had no pictures of Ben and Charlie together! I was so anxious for the brotherly moment I was about to witness. And yet, my camera was not by my side.
Never fear. I placed Bess and Wylie near Charlie, placed the Boppy just at the right position and gave Wylie strict instructions on how to help Charlie. Then, I did the unthinkable and placed Ben on the Boppy and darted to the table where my camera was!
In the literal blink of a second I was gone, when I returned, I saw Charlie doing what I totally should have known he would be doing.
He was giving Ben the first of many lessons I am sure my sweet Charlie will give- this lesson was entitled:
Web Shooting SpiderMan Style!
As you can see, Ben was rather thrilled and clearly comfortable for his web lesson!
I can only imagine the conversations I will overhear and the sights I will witness as Charlie and Ben become best buddies! I am so thankful to have 2 healthy little boys who will be able to share so much together as they grow older!
