New Hero In Town

Owen has cycled through the typical array of superhero idols.  This is not uncommon for little guys, especially when each new Hollywood blockbuster makes each new superhero more amazing than the last.  The most recent superhero to grace the household is a little more obscure, but I'm very happy about it. 

So you're thinking, "must be Wolverine, that's Ed's favorite superhero."

 No.

And then you're thinking, "Spiderman is fun, it could be Spiderman."

Nope.

"Batman?"

Uh-Uh.

Owen's new favorite superhero is none other than...

Captain Underpants! Tra la laaa! (His catchphrase.)

I really like this because this character is from a chapter book series and I love that Owen is getting interested in chapter books.  I think it's great that there are authors out there who embed fantastic literary structure into absurd storylines that 5 year olds will find absolutely hilarious. (I'm looking in your direction, Attack of the 50 Foot Toilet.)

I guess Owen really likes it too:

 Take that Giant Robot Monkey.

 And that Professor Poopypants.

Gotta love that kid.
