Superman

Today we went to McDonalds after swim lessons. Yes, even the best of us succumb to a Happy Meal from time to time. This time our Happy Meals had Superman!!! The boys couldn’t believe it. For them, it was like winning the lottery.

As you can guess, we played superheros all afternoon. Luke was Superman, of course. I was Supergirl and Max was Superbaby. We had a lot of fun and I must say, this is probably one of the only times a Happy Meal actually made me happy.

I always check on the boys before I go to sleep and tonight, I found Luke sleeping with Superman clutched in his hand. I don’t know why, but this was really touching for me. It’s just like Luke to be so excited about something that he has to physically hold it while he sleeps.

He’s done this a few times before with special toys, but this is the first time I was able to get a picture. Don’t ask me how we did it - yes flashlights were involved. I still can't believe we didn't wake him up. Merk still thinks I'm a little crazy.

I just wanted to capture him in this moment. My sweet little boy who completely melts my heart.
