Adventures in Fannish Parenting

[przed]

Rosalind loves playing with the rolls from toilet paper. She especially loves putting them on her wrists. Like vambraces. So I started telling her that they were vambraces, determined that she will be the only kid in her preschool class who knows the names of parts of armour.

Tonight, I'm folding laundry and Ros is with the Sweetie getting ready for bed and I hear her shout "Daddy, look at my vambraces!"



I'm so proud.

Next step: teach her about tassets and pauldrons. Not to mention Boromir.

Ah, she's so beautiful! So how do you and the Sweetie feel about being the parents of a future superhero? (she just has that superhero thing going!). They both look so lovely, all into the role and happyproudparent - you have such a gorgeous family!

Funny you should say that. When we were playing in the living room yesterday afternoon, she started throwing her fist in the air and saying "Super powers!" Not something we say a whole lot, so we reckon she got it from daycare. (I then confused her by putting my fist up and saying "Fight the power." It is my fondest wish that she says that at daycare some day.)
