Super Hero Squad
Right now the boys enjoy the educational preschool type shows you find on PBS Sprout and Disney Channel. Jack also has started to get into superheroes. But, most of the superhero shows are too dark for kids his age. I recorded a couple of the new Batman cartoon but they are too scary for him. Jack has been playing with the Super Hero Squad toys which look like very cartoon versions of all the Marvel characters. Turns out they recently made a show out of it. It reminds me a lot of the old 80s cartoons like He-Man, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, etc. Jack really likes it.
It is very weird seeing my little guys so interested in a show that I would have liked at their age as well. Surreal.

Black Iron Man
Jack wanted an Iron Man toy while we were in Florida. But, he wanted the Red Iron Man for himself and the Black Iron Man (aka War Machine) for Ben.
Granny was happy to oblige.
We went to Target and they both found an Iron Man toy they liked. When we got back to the house, Jack realized they were both RED. He was upset.
"Where is Black Iron Man? Ben needs Black Iron Man because I am Red Iron Man!"
The next day Granny went to another Target and got two smaller action figures for the boys. One was Silver Iron Man and the other was Crimson Dynamo. Both were not sufficiently Black Iron Man.
A couple days later we hit another Target and found the Super Hero Squad mini toys. It was a two pack of (Red) Iron Man and War Machine. Excuse me, Black Iron Man.
This was okay for Jack. We eventually found a bigger Black Iron Man which Jack still wants. I think the closer we get to the movie release of Iron Man 2 the more toy options there will be.

Bensplosion!
Something happens when we go on vacation. The boys always return with something new up their sleeves. This time Ben came back with dozens of new words. And sentences. Ben is now fond of saying "Don't want that" or "I want this." It is very cool to see him with developed language. I have a sneaking suspicision the don't and no phrases will become his go to answers. Sigh.
The vacation was very good. The boys had a great time. I will post photos soon.

Planet 51
Jack has moved past Meatballs, which he still asks for almost daily, and is now obsessed with the movie Planet 51.
It is a far inferior movie to Meatballs, but both boys like it.
After 100 viewings, I am sure I will like it too. Or want to break the DVD.
