This day I love.......

My girls love to dress up and whilst they love to dress up as their favourite Disney Princess they also have been asking for their favourite superhero costumes.  The girls however know their superheroes and they know that Batman and Spiderman do not wear pink.  They are also fussy and refuse to wear the costumes that are in the boys aisle, because they are in the boys aisle.

This has left me in a bit of a tough spot.  There do not seem to be many costumes out there for girls that are superhero themed and yet keep the costumes feminine but close to the original costume.  Then we discovered Play and Party who came to our rescue.


The girls needed to dress up as superheroes for school and I was stuck.  I ordered the girls a costume each from Play and Party and the next morning it arrived.  I was amazed.  It was a true next day delivery service and the girls had their costumes ready for Superhero day at school.

The girls love their superhero costumes.  They stay true to the original superhero and yet have a feminine touch to them, which is what the girls wanted.  No pink, the correct colours and both girls knew exactly who they were.  Ok Supergirl had the addition of Hello Kitty but my eldest loved this!

The girls come home from school and immediately put on their superhero costumes and then run around the house pretending to fly.  It is so lovely to watch them play and use their imaginations like this.  


The girls are over the moon with their costumes and this makes me really happy too.  Thank you Play and Party for making the girls incredibly happy.

I saw a competition on Tots100 called 'That's my hero', the competition is run in conjunction with Moneysupermarket.  I have read and read the competition as I really wanted to enter but was worried my 2 year old would not understand what a hero was.  

I sat down with her and asked her to draw me her hero.  She looked at me confused and so I said ' draw me something you love and would like to be'.  

drawing her hero

I thought I was going to get a picture of either Sulley from Monsters Inc, Nemo from Finding Nemo or her Grandma.  Instead I was rather surprised by what she drew, and for that matter impressed

galahad





This is 'Galahad' Mike the Knights horse.  I love that she has clearly drawn a head and body and legs.  The horse is smiling and she has drawn a seat on its back for Mike to sit on, that is those two sticking up lines.
mike the knight





This is Mike the Knight.  She has drawn his eyes and you cannot see his face she said because of his helmet.  She also showed me she had drawn his sword [the cross type shape near the red line]
sparkie






Finally this is Sparkie Mikes dragon.  She calls him his dinosaur but I guess to a 2 year old its the same thing.   Anyway she says he has fire coming from his mouth, and lots of spikes and a wing.











When I said to her who is your hero, she looked at me and said 'Mike the Knight'.  I told her that was really lovely, and was it because he was brave and kind.  She said 'no' so I asked her why she had chosen 'Mike the Knight' to be her hero and her reply was ' Because he has a horse AND a dinosaur Mummy'.
