Dress Up

Things around our house just continue to become more and more active.  I have a feeling this will continue for a few more years, especially since more boys keep joining us!! However, I did not anticipate there would be so much dressing up.  Growing with mostly girls around there were always dress up clothes and accessories around.  I never realized boys liked to do it too, just with different stuff.  We have capes, shields, belts, masks, etc rather than necklaces, crowns and gowns.  Every day when Kyler is getting dressed he says, "Mom put my dress on."  He gets confused between getting dressed and putting clothes on, so he says "put my dress on."  Damon just fights it all together!  Kyler is very into superheros these days, and all the boys take turns being different heroes.  He will say, "I am Captain America; Daddy is Thor; Damon is Ironman."  He then proceeds to 'hit' someone, throw a shield at them or shoot them with a web or gun.  I usually get left out of this process; I guess I'm not cool enough or he he has not made the connection that there are girl superheros too.
 

It is much more fun to jump off the couch dressed as Batman!

"Look Mom, I fly like Batman!"

Usually there is no clothing besides underwear and capes

Someone gave us this mask, and he LOVES it!

He had to showoff his muscles.

This is the location Damon has chosen to jump off the couch.  I have tried and tried to convince him that he will get hurt less if he jumps off closer to the edge, but what do I know?  I am just the person that has to take him to the ER when his plans fail!! 

I told them to hug and they actually did!  Good thing I had the camera out!

And of course the hug turned into wrestling!

Damon always wants to continue wrestling, and Kyler is done pretty quick

Damon gets the bad guys too

I have been going through the boys stuff to try and make room for baby stuff and found these hats.  The boys wanted to wear them so naturally Damon wore the hat, but no clothes.

Kyler found some gloves too!

Our boys have already become accustomed to having some sort of sporting event on our TV, but they have really gotten into watching basketball with the NCAA Tournament. They get pretty excited watching the players dribble and shoot the ball. Kyler is even picking teams now. I guess the game kind of slowed down during the part I was filming, but they were both jumping up and down and yelling at the TV. It was pretty funny! 

**As a side note to this post, I get my children dressed in 'real' clothes everyday!!!  For some reason I cannot get them to stay in their clothes, but they do have clothes, and they are forced to wear them in public.
