A New Caped Crusader in Town

We have a new superhero in town.... Her name is Super Mekayla. For the last 2 or 3 nights after her bath, Daddy will dry her down and then put her hooded towel on the top of her head. Then for the next 5 minutes, she will run butt naked around the house, cape flapping boldly behind her, shouting, "To the rescue!" Tonight, she even had the right hand raised to the sky Superman gestures. We got a bit of it on video. She seems to get all bashful and refuses to participate when the camera or video camera comes out so we've got some truely rare footage folks.

Putting on her diaper and PJs has become a great challenge for the caped crusader and her exhausted parents who tirelessly chase her around the house before an accident happens. However, tonight, through a stroke of genius on mommy's part, Super Mekayla did not have to put on her PJs but donned a Super Suit instead (diapers are non-negotiable superhero items for a 2 year old, I'm afraid). They were even in red, white and blue superhero colors.

This is a new and interesting phase in her life and we are totally enjoying it (as exhausting as it can be sometimes). Her last bath towel was a puppy dog one and she proceeded to run around the house in her towel panting and woofing like a puppy. She was even giving out slobbery puppy kisses. Incidentally, our new "puppy" arrived the night after Molly came over to spend the day.
