Reid, I'm Spiderman

The boys are so funny sometimes. Gage has taken to "becoming" whatever superhero or thing is depicted on his clothing. Therefore if he's wearing Spiderman underwear he is Spiderman. Gage has a Spiderman hoodie he likes to wear, and the other day he was wearing it on the way to the store. Reid was in a hoodie that had a bear on it (he didn't want to be Spiderman too). Gage insisted he be called Spiderman and he was calling Reid "bear." So the car ride sounded kind of like this:
Gage: "I the mountains! Bear, I see the mountains!"
Reid: "Spiderman, I see a temple. See, over there!" (Anything with a spire is a temple for them).
Gage: "Bear, I see it too!"
Reid: "I'm not Bear, I'm just Reid."

Reid gets tired of it pretty quick, so he tells Gage he's "just Reid" quite often.

Gage has also picked up the word "amazing." So, yesterday, we had this exchange:
Me: Guess what today is? Monday! That means it's family home evening tonight.
Gage: Monday? Wow! That's amazing!

And Nick has been trying to teach them words he thinks will sound funny when they pronounce them. I know, they'll probably need therapy. So this week he taught them that they are "synonymous with handsome." I'll post a video of that one.

And, finally, yesterday I thought it was weird there were little dog hairs all over. Oh, wait...scissors. Yep, they were cutting each other's hair. Luckily, I can't even find the spots they cut. We're going to have to jealously guard all the scissors around here.


Sorry, I need to start editing the red-eye out before I post...
Watching the original "Grinch Who Stole Christmas" cartoon. I don't like live-action Dr. Suess. Whos are creepy when not 2-D.
