Elsie is a Superhero

This morning while I was eating breakfast Andy and Elsie played on the floor in the dining room. Andy spent the majority of my meal making Elsie "fly" around the room playing "Super Elsie"(she loved it!). When it was time for Elsie to get dressed for the day (i.e., when she spit up on her PJ's), it seemed only natural that we continue her superhero theme by dressing her in her "SUPER BABY" onsie. She also put on her super-fast track shoes to aid her in catching the criminals she might have to chase on the ground (a superhero can't ALWAYS fly). Oh, and her bonnet, too, because her super powers don't extend to UV-ray deflection.



Later, Elsie helped me pick the humongous zucchini out of our garden. While I think this recent harvest proves that I do, indeed, have a green thumb, it also shows that I have been neglecting my garden since Elsie arrived (my nine ears of corn shared a similar fate as the zucchini). Luckily, there are plenty of other ripe zucchini left on the vine for us to enjoy, in addition to bowls of delicious yellow and red grape tomatoes and some peppers and roma tomatoes, too.



It seems that being a superhero is hard work, because Elsie slept more today than she usually does over the course of three days. If all it takes is a little crime-fighting to get her to nap, the streets of Madison are going to be safer than those of Gotham City!
