Happy Birthday, Big Boy!!

I just returned from #2's birthday gift.  He turns 5 on Tuesday, and this weekend was Comic Con, so being a boy who loves superheroes and action figures, we decided this would be a fun way to spend the afternoon with him.  

We planned for my husband to take him yesterday, but after a quick visit to QuickCare for a muscle strain the his chest (my husband, not my son), he was not capable of walking anywhere, let alone a huge convention center, I accompanied my son this afternoon.  We were only there for less than two hours, but that was the perfect amount of time for his attention span.  

His eyes were wide, and he refused to take a picture with anyone in costume, but he was happy to stand next to replicas.  We just wandered and he led me by the hand where he wanted to go.  It was great!!  I love time with one child where they are in charge of what they want to see, and where to go.  

We bought some action figures: Batman, Martian Manhunter, Evil Batman (didn't know that one existed), the Riddler, and a free Nemesis Prime.  I found secret pleasure watching him open the boxes on these collectors editions and play with them.  Evil Batman has lost an arm, but oh well, it's a toy!

Happy Birthday to you!!
