Batman

 
Whilst flicking through some pictures we took during our walk at the weekend, this picture particularly made me stop and smile for several reasons.

James insists on wearing his coat like this.  Always.  This way his coat is a cape and he is batman AT ALL TIMES.  How wonderful is that. 

And secondly the socks.  I have to double fold his trousers over at the top to keep them out of the mud, which he INSISTS on stamping through time and time again.  Regardless of his footwear.  So his socks are constantly on show, this particular pair standing out rather more than others!  Gotta love that too.

I remember reading a book when the author mentions that his boy did the same .. the batman thing, only he went a step further and only answered to 'batman' too.  We haven't got that far ... yet.  But it's pictures like this that I think in years to come I will look back on and remember that chapter.  The 'Batman' chapter.  And what a wonderful chapter it is.

Anyone else got any batmans out there?

I may have seen my husband with his jacket on like that (of course I'll deny that I typed this!!!)

Ours was Spiderman at ALL times -- He's 30 now but I still think of him in his Batman stage with such fondness

My son's 25 now but we still remind him of the time when he was a Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle! :)

Not Batman exactly, but my youngest insists on pulling his red and black striped knitted hat right down over his face like a mask, and telling everyone, 'I'm Biderman' (can't pronounce 'Sp' yet! Falls over all the time and bashes into things, but I can't get him to wear that hat properly!
So lush to meet you the other day!

My son who just turned five was Batman for a long time, but then developed his own alter ego and for the past six months has been known as "speedy man" who is of course better, faster and more powerful than batman. Love your blog and your stuffies; I've added them to my Christmas wish list!

How fab! My little man isn't a batman but does like mud - he is forever looking for bugs and lives in his wellies!

Love this picture, what a memory to treasure. He, he...boys will be boys eh? My two are very similar and what is it with their coats!

My youngest is three and a bit and will absolutely, without a doubt, only respond if you call him by the name of his favourite dinosaur - Oviraptor! It's been going on for so long now that we all naturally call him Ovi, even the grandparents. He's an Archie really, perhaps he will be again one day - when he's about 18! Sweet though.

Have a lovely weekend ahead. I do enjoy your blog ever so much.

I've got girls, so no batmen, but one did go through a stage of being mary poppins and had to take an umbrella everywhere!
