Captain America

For weeks now, Berkeley has been OBSESSED with Captain America.  I don't even know where he learned about him, but the obsession has been increasing over time.  For the last month now Berke keeps saying, "I'm going to be Captain America soon." Anytime he would talk to a stranger on our street, on a walk or even on the train, he would tell the, "I'm going to be Captain America Soon." This week a girl asked what his name was and his response was, "My name is....I'm going to be Captain America soon." 

As a mother, I recognized an opportunity to make my kids wildest dream come true.  I ordered him a Captain America outfit so soon could be a reality.  I really didn't care if it wasn't Halloween, my kid needed to be Captain America in July!  It arrived today; he put it on and didn't take it off until bed time, and that was only with the promise that he could wear it again tomorrow.  For the first hour he literally ran around the house yelling like a super hero!  He would say, "Mom, what's my name?  You have to call me Captain America!"

Captain America by Day, Berkey Boo by night.  

This is truly what childhood is all about.
