Brony in the making

I am somehow watching My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic and the Tinkerbell Movies with my 5 year old

JW has recently started watching a few shows I find to be so cutesy that I get a bit queasy.  They make him happy so I bare it.  He knows the theme song to My Little Pony now and got a DVD from the library of it. I am hoping it goes away eventually like everything else he gets into.  The Tinkerbell Movies aren't too bad but the MLP is a little much for me.  I guess I'll start preparing myself for Bronycon just in case.  He is amazing!

Today we got some errands done and during that JW stole a drink product. When I discovered this I went back to the gas station he stole it from, made him apologize, and discovered he had more items in his pocket. He had opened two of the three items so I ended up spending $10 more than I had expected. Not fun.  I had to have that talk most kiddos need about not taking things that don't belong to us.  

We are still having potty training issues which I am considering asking for a referral to a urologist.  We are trying to find a new therapist as well.  Did I mention that I am very drained.  Not sleepy although I haven't been doing that well lately either, just wiped out.  Come on weekend!

I love Superheroes but can't read Comics

I will watch pretty much any superhero movie that they put out. I watch them with the eyes of a child because I don't read comics. I say don't but the word I should use is can't. My brain for whatever reason can not process the different sizes of the boxes. I can read comic strips fine. I always describe it as my brain sees big box, little box, full page, little box, elongated box, and by that time it isn't seeing the words on the pages. I grew up watching Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) and Batman (1966-1968) on Nick at Nite.  I was so excited about Batman that I asked for a Batman cake on my 6th birthday.  That also happened to be the year Batman (1989) came to theaters.  I tried recently again to read a graphic novel in preparation for The Dark Knight Returns (2012 & 2013) coming to DVD. Any time I hear hardcore Batman fans talk that is the book they mention. I got a few pages in before my brain got messed up on the boxes. I am so glad they do so many animated movies or I wouldn't know much about any superhero. I am psyching myself up for Son of Batman (2014).
