Super Jack

Jack is really into Spiderman and Superman. Lola gave him a Superman t-shirt for Christmas that has a red cape which attaches at the shoulders with velcro. He wears that shirt every week. Recently he upped the ante and wants another cape. More specifically, he wanted me to "make" him a cape. Uh oh. Well, luckily I was in the hardware store (of all places) and there it was, the Superhero Starter Kit.  The kit comes with a shiny red cape, cardboard cutout wristbands and goggles, and lots of stickers of lightning bolts and other superhero-like designs. Jack has been wearing the cape to school since the Easter Bunny left it in his basket, and sneaking out of his room in the morning to look at the book and break out more wrist bands. The best thing about this latest obsession? When he asks if I can hold his hand when he flies.
