Put this pair of Batman underwear on and you'll be filled with absolute joy because if you don't, you're world could crumble.....The story behind this theory is a long one but here goes: Everytime Makaela's friends Ray-Ray and Jackie come over (18 months and 3), the three of them eventually end up taking a bubble bath together simply because their lives wouldn't be complete without it. Then, after the children run around naked for a little while (my potty training technique that totally works), we attempt to put their clothes back on without too much hassel. Ray-Ray may want to borrow Makaela's pink flowery shirt, and that is fine with his mommy and with me. And Makaela will inevitably want to borrow whatever pair of super-hero underpants that Ray-Ray has on that day, and sometimes he wears two pairs just for kicks. When Ray-Ray wears them he prefers to wear them backwards so that he can see the super-hero when he looks down. It really isn't any fun with the super-hero on the back where you can't see it. The last time he ended up with just his underpants on at our house he was feeling so joyful that he was inclined to run around our house in circles for about 15 minutes. Now, everytime we hang out, there comes a time when we start dropping hints to the children that it's going to be time to go home soon. This is usually the time at which the borrowing begins and many demanding "pleases" occur. On this evening, Makaela asked Ray-Ray if she could borrow his Batman underpants. He said yes and so did his mommy...but disater struck immediatly after the boys walked out the door and Makaela wanted to forgo bedtime, rip off her pj's and put the Batman panties on. Well the temper-tantrum that followed when we wouldn't allow this (at 9:00 pm) was a long one. And Sean and I both felt that it was the biggest temper-tantrum that we had ever seen from her. She finally calmed down and went to bed, but the very first thing that she mentioned when she woke up the next morning was those blessed Batman panties. And she wore them all day, backwards.
