A Persistent Superman

Some funny stories from our morning walk...

Last night James slept in his superman outfit, and he was still wearing it when we went out for our morning stroll. Usually when we turn around to go home James asks to walk. Actually he asks to "James walk home". Guess that means he is done with walk. This morning he was really stopping to smell the roses, walking slowly and looking around as he walked. I kept calling his name, "Come on James, we need to walk home". And he ignored me. No surprise there. But then I started saying "Come on Superman, we need to walk home" and he started to respond. He would repeat "Come on superman!" and start walking really fast.

We walked by Dan and Christine's house and James immediately sprinted up their front steps and to their front door. He was trying to open the door when I told him that Dan and Christine were not home. He looked puzzled and said "Play Dan. Play Tine." I repeated that they were not home. He walks slowly down the stairs. Suddenly he smiled and started off running again, this time to their back gate. Again he tries to open it. Finally I told James that they were at work. He thought about that. "Dan work. Tine work. Daddy work." He looked satisfied with that explanation and we continued our walk home.

James is starting to mimic Luke's babbling and they were both saying "BABABABABA" at the top of their lungs for a good portion of the walk. They kept a great beat and I think it made me walk faster.
