Batman Obsession

If you'll recall back to Halloween, Claire was Batman.  She LOVED the costume and thought it was great to be a super-hero.

Little did we know that Batman would become her constant companion and obsession.  She wants to wear her costume non-stop, she runs around "flying" with Batman and trapping bad people.  After she uses the potty she says, "Okay, Batman, your turn" and stands there for a couple minutes waiting before she flushes the toilet and washes her hands.  If I sit on the couch she says, "Hey, don't sit on Batman!  Can you sit on your chair please so you don't sit on Batman?"  And most recently she has taken to calling her bed her "Bat-Cave".

So what is a girl supposed to do when she has an accident resulting in her costume being dirty?

Wear all the accessories instead.  And yes...that is her "scary Batman face" that she uses all day.  It's great fun...particularly when she does it to people at the store.

The obsession went one step further during Claire's prayer the other night: 

"Heavenly Father, thank you for this day....(slight pause)....thank you for Batman."

Yep, she was more thankful for Batman than she was for her own flesh and blood!

She knows what she likes I guess.  And at least now we know where we stand on her list of priorities.

Oh, and did you know that Batman lives in Moab and drives a scary Jeep? 
Well, now you do.

Oh My Gosh! I am laughing too hard to even make a coherent comment. I love Claire, and tell her when I saw her pictures I was very, VERY scared of her!

The accessories with the yellow striped sweater were infinitely more funny than the regular Batman costume.

Still laughing....
