superheroes
To say Mateo is interested in superheroes is putting it mildly. Between Luke Skywalker, Batman, Iron Man, and Spiderman, I just can't keep up.
And I really think he thinks they exist. Take this morning's conversation for example.
On our way to day camp in the car, Mateo started looking for the bat signal. He couldn't find it amidst the thunder and rolling clouds... and Mary concurred it wasn't visible. Since they couldn't find it, he started calling out for Batman. I asked him why we needed Batman, and he said that "he needed to save us from the rain."
He was so sad... so I tried explaining that Batman only stays in Gotham City, not Cleveland... so he said that we needed another superhero to save us from the rain storm... and after a moment of thinking he shouted, "I CAN SAVE US!"
My little hero!

fairytales
The trio LOVE fairy tales (especially since visiting Disney- the home of the magical fairy tale)!!! In the past, I have had to create them (not such an easy task) but lately, they have wanted to take turns telling them before bedtime. And tonight's went something like this...
Gabby- Once upon a time... in a far, far away place called "downtown cleveland" lived 26-100-5-67 people!
Marry - oh my goodness gracious
Gabby - hang on, do you want to know how many children there were?
Mary - sure!
Gabby - 100-5-6-7
Mary - that's a lot!
Gabby - and there lived a dragon there....
Mary - will this be scary?
Gabby - no, it was a nice dragon... and a monster!
Mary - oh my!!!
Gabby - but it was a nice monster... and everyone came over to see it. And he asked if we wanted to see magic tricks... and we said yes... so some went inside to watch tv while the rest watched the monster. Do you want to know what they were watching on tv?
Mary & Mateo - yes!
Gabby - football! And basketball, baseball, and even soccer!
Mateo - yes!
Mommy - you mean that all of cleveland was at the monster's house? And some were watching tv while the others watched the monster?
Gabby - yes! Maybe 2 or so... I don't know how many were watching tv...
Gabby - And then Jake (he is a disney character that is on tv) showed up with Izzy (another character) And do you know what Izzy turned into???
Mary - yes?!
Gabby - a princess pirate... and Jake? It's a scary one!
Mary - a sea witch? oh no!!!! (grabs on to me...) It's scary!
Gabby - yes! a sea witch
Mommy - whoa here... there is all of this in downtown Cleveland?
Gabby - no, Jake is far away... in Florida
Mommy - so this is a different story?
Gabby - not really...
Mary - I can't believe it... she is changing stories!
And then I lost track of what happened.... sigh. To many interjections. But I do love the numbering system they are using... it's almost like playing the lottery!

snake! snake! (for real... snake- yikes!!!)
While visiting a friends birthday party, our fearless warrior, Mateo, tried on a real snake "neck tie" for size. Lovingly called "candy cane", the snake was harmless enough.
