Eli is his own Kryptonite
This will be the last in my “Eli Can’t Let Halloween Go” series.
He wasn’t Superman for Halloween. He was a football player. But that doesn’t mean that he couldn’t have a Superman costume, too. He has an indulgent Nonni and the Superman costumes were marked down at Target.
So, Superman began to make appearances at our house. At lunch, Superman enjoys eating Lunchables and peanut butter sandwiches. Superman really likes watching Go, Diego, Go. While he has super endurance and super strenght, Superman still likes to take a nap around 1:00 in the afternoon. Then Superman builds with blocks, climbs on the furniture, jumps off said furniture, and plays with cars.
All of this takes its toll on the super suit.
This doesn’t slow Superman down, though. A little tear in the armpit area? Barely noticeable. A tear in the shoulder? Doesn’t phase the Man of Steel.
He goes on protecting Truth, Justice, and the Preschooler Way.
Also, here are a couple little known facts about Superman:
1. He has a killer smile.
2. Under the red cape? We find that the super suit is actually more of a super hospital gown.

About This Blog

In Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, the central character dies an early death. Emily is given the chance to revisit a day of her life and is advised by those in the afterlife to pick an ordinary day, warning her that she might be overcome otherwise. Still, Emily is overwhelmed with emotion as she recognizes how wonderful the everyday details of her existence were. Her daily routine takes on new significance now that it is gone. Through her tears, she asks:
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it– every, every minute?
With this blog, I am trying to fully “realize” my life by documenting the things that I love. I want to appreciate and examine my past and present, as well as plan actively for the future.
I hope to accentuate the positive in my life and in the world around me, with the hope that by focusing on the positive, I will draw more positive elements into my life. Or, at least, realize all of the blessings that I do have.
