Meet Super Porter!


So since about a week before Christmas my son Porter has been addicted to Superman. I mean addicted! To the point of obsession.
A couple months before Christmas Matt found the old superman movies for really cheap. So he bought them and watched them with the kids. I think they are a little old for them but now there is no turning back. Porter loves them!

Matt also ordered a Superman costume online for him that has a fan and blows up into muscles for Christmas. This was before we even knew he had this crazy obsession. Well, we wished we would have waited till the very end to have him open it, because after that present, he didn't want to open anything else. We joked that it was the present that ruined christmas! We found some Superman pajamas for him thinking they would be better then the blow up muscles costume. Another big mistake! Now he NEVER wants to take them off. I am in serious negotiations with my 3 year old daily! Then he discovered the whole clark kent thing. He found his DJ Lance glasses, my sister Heathers fedora hat and any jacket he can throw open to reveal his "S". It entertained him all day long. He would go back and forth changing behind doors and curtains. Then run around after he was superman. It was hilarious!
He sings and whistles the theme song while he does it. Then he repeats it about 40 times throughout the day.

And this has been going on everyday since christmas! Its pretty cute and also pretty annoying. Sometimes I think he really thinks he is superman. Luckily his passion at times is an advantage to me. Like when I want him to eat so he can be strong like superman. Or, superman is a good guy and is always nice to people.

For family night Matt and the kids made a superman movie. He found some sound effects and edited it all together. Now Porter asks to watch "his" superman movie several times a day... along with the Christopher Reeves one.

Enjoy!

Hilarious! Luke heard the theme music and RAN over and now is asking to watch it again and again! (That's Luke's fav song and he dances to it almost everyday.) He also loves Superman and don't worry we also have let our kids watch the movies even though they are probably too young to be watching them. They are classics!
