5-2-11 Proud Moments

So my son recently celebrated his first birthday and I thought that he was ready to play with his first action figures.  Now being the nerd dad that I am I tend to be very picky about these future nostalgia items for my son.  I want him to look back with the same love that I have for all the play things of my childhood.  I want him to be the same way or at least have the kind of childhood he’ll want to remember.  I want him to be that kid at his preschool that knows the names and powers of all his favorite superheroes.  So I bought him these Super Hero Squad figures.

And as soon as I opened them for him and started naming them off to him he picked up one and crashed it into another one. Right from the get go he started to envision a no doubt epic battle in his own mind.  But it actually helped me figure out that he had an imagination now, a thing that I think more and more kids loose out on these days in our societies way of filling everything with schedules and “play dates”.  He had just shown his imagination in front of me for the very first time and I helped him with that making that one of my proudest moments with him to date.  I only hope to be seeing alot more of that. 

Thanks for listening,

Just another average Joe
