Some way or another Tom convinced us he needed an Iron Man suit before his birthday. True to tradition, he has been wearing it non stop. Remember when Will was Spider man every day for over a month when he was this age?? At least that started around Halloween and was easier to explain. We do have the movie tie-in now, but he does get some strange looks, especially when he is using his 'powers' on random strangers.
Speaking of those powers, I will re-cap what they consist of: holding out his hands (see British Museum pics for good examples) and making a flying noise, which basically amounts to spitting on people.
We have caught him using markers on both his palms and his feet trying to make his powers. You know, color in your whole palm and you might be able to fly. Wow, glad we don't have carpet here! And glad I only shipped over the washable crayolas!
Speaking of the flying thing, that's what worries me the most. Between shouting our 'falling with style' and pretending he's Iron Man, I keep thinking he is going to forget he can't really fly, and try to make it down the stairs a little too fast. Knock on wood...
