Find Your Happiness

Nathaniel is taught never to spit out food. So when he insisted he really, really  wanted to eat the Spider-Man gum paste figurine on his birthday cake, we knew this was going to happen. However, we did not expect this hilarious facial expressions/reaction. His cousin Daniel wanted Spider-Man too so we gave him the arm. He instantly spat that out! Soon, the other children who wanted Doc Ock and Green Goblin changed their mind ;)

Nathaniel dressed up as Spiderman (of course!) last week for Halloween. He was very shy at first but eventually warmed up to the idea of trick or treating. This is first "real" trick or treating since we just went to the mall last year . Hubby dressed up as dorky Peter Parker and I was supposed to be Mary Jane. Unfortunately, we have been so busy that I wasn't able to plan it well. Hopefully, we will be more coordinated and better prepared next year.

It is starting to become very ridiculous how obsessed Nathaniel is to Spiderman. In the above photo, he was shooting spider web to the passerby while waiting for the Apple Festival parade in Hendersonville, NC (we had a mini-vacation with Hannah and her family this past Labor Day holiday weekend). And in case you didn't notice, yes, he's holding a Spiderman blow up toy. The deal was for him to eat all of his lunch and then we will buy him that. He inhaled his lunch in less than five minutes.

It is amazing how obsessed Nathaniel is to Spiderman. Even more so when you think about the fact the he has never seen any Spiderman movies or cartoons! It started when he first learned about spiders and we got him a spider paint tattoo after running his first 1-mile run in Texas . He now possess numerous Spiderman t-shirts, pajamas, underwear, band-aid and shoes; but surprisingly no action figures or toys! His older cousin is also coo coo for Spiderman and is actually having a Spiderman party for his third birthday this coming weekend. I'm thinking I need to buy Nathaniel a little Spiderman present because he will jealous of all Daniel's presents! Also, who do you think will win the Batman vs Spiderman battle? I think I'm putting my money on that little Spidey :)
