Tarzan vs. Spiderman

In the past month and half or so, Austin's latest obsession has been superheros - mostly spiderman. He has a full spiderman costume (thanks to Ms Kim) that he wears constantly - mask, gloves and all - and the only way we can get him to get dressed is to convince him that he must turn back into Peter Parker to go out in public so no one will know he is spiderman.
Well, we went to a whole new level this week. I made the mistake of renting Tarzan from the library. Austin watched it over the weekend and has now insisted on only wearing underwear because he IS the REAL Tarzan, and since all Tarzan is wearing is underwear - well, you see where this is going. So, the past three days I have had more conversations than I can count, about why we can't go in public when all we are wearing is underwear. I told him that there are "rules" when we go in public and one of those "rules" is that we wear clothes over our underwear. He told me he is NOT Austin, he is Tarzan, so it's ok if he only wears underwear. Now, anyone that knows me, knows that arguing and debating is not one of my strong suits - I may be able to do calculus, but I couldn't win an argument to save my life - not even with a three year old. Oh, did I mention he also enjoys doing the chest thumbing and yelling that Tarzan does too? Gotta love 3 year olds.

One other Austin tidbit - this is something he drew on the patio last week - his first drawing of a person!!! He told me it was me and Colin watching Austin mow the lawn!! Amazing - simply amazing. And THAT is why I love being a mom. (and why I'm doing it for a fourth time!)Hope you are having the time of your life! (and if you're not - try imitating Tarzan for a day - seems to work for us!)
