Pete was Batman all day today.
He had his blue mask Sue Griffin made him, his blue and white hooded jacket with pointed green construction paper ears pinned to the hood, his yellow construction paper insignia (complete with black bat) pinned to his shirt, and a beaded belt (that says "Wyoming") with cardboard communicator, cardboard handcuffs, and pink construction paper Bat Gun.
We went for a walk this morning and he kept shedding items from his "utility belt", so we came home and scotch taped "handles" on everything. He insisted on going to the Dairy Queen in full regalia, including long pants and boots . One of the ladies there was very taken with Pete's costume (she laughed and laughed and tried slipping her hand into the handcuffs), but wanted to know what Pete was dressed up for. I told her if she ever had a five year old, she'd know.
I might prefer to have Pete dress ordinarily, but his costume doesn't hurt anyone, so why not let him enjoy it? Thank goodness life with Pete is never dull.
