Spiderman




The other day, Dylan came downstairs with a backpack full of props.  In the backpack, he brought these two green scarves and was so excited to show me his surprise.  The surprise had something to do with my transforming him into spiderman using nothing but these two little green scarves.  Yeah, right!  Talk about testing the creativity.  So one for his mask and one for his suit.  I was hoping his imagination would take over as I was tying and tucking the scarf around him.  He never said a thing about his spidey suit, which looks like a skirt of some sort, but he got me on the mask.  I was trying to figure out how to pull it around his head so I tied it in the front like a bandana and just folded it over his head.  He looked at me with one of those 'I can't believe you're so dumb' looks and said with a chuckle, "No Mom, not like I'm getting married."  Whoops!  How did I not realize that would seem like a veil to him?  Apparently he pays attention to more than I thought.  I started again and tied it in the back, flipped it over his head, and tied it again so nothing was floating around.  I mean, I didn't want him to look girly in his manly spiderman skirt!
