Hayley loves a programme on CBeebies called Gigglebiz. One of the characters, Captain Adorable, is a superhero who is always saving people who don't need to be saved and making more messes than he cleans up. Two days ago Hayley came to me with he snuggly wrapped around her self and said "I Captain Adorable Mummy!" It made me smile and I helped her to tie her snuggly into a proper cape. She proceeded to run around pretending to fly and had a brilliant time.
After her bath we went to Austin's room to get his pajamas and she found my bright pink pashmena which had been left in there after Austin had fallen asleep on it. She immediately tried to turn it into a cape and so I promised her that if she was a good girl and put her pajamas on and let me dry her hair, I would help her be Captain Adorable before bed. She was as good as gold so as promised I tied my pashmena on and she ran to show Daddy. Austin and I followed her downstairs where she started running round in circles to make her cape fly out behind her. Unfortunately Hayley has a habit of looking where she has been instead of where she is going and managed to end up with her cape wrapping itself around her and she fell over. She got up straight away, put her hands up in front of her and said "Superhero's alright!". Brilliant!! I think her very on cape may be next on my list of 'crafts to do'.
