I opened my handbag yesterday to be greeted by a number of superhero figurines. I smiled to myself as I reached past them for my ipad, which I needed to brief the team of people I was sat with, ready to discuss a new project we started this week.
Ah, the secret life of a parent and my new Superhero friends.
Part of the parenting journey is being educated in what they are ‘currently into’. Currently, B, aged 3 is into Superhero’s.
So what I learnt? Well, I didn’t know that Spiderman’s real name is Peter Parker or that he had an enemy called Electro! I didn’t know that you can get Spiderman EVERYTHING. Not a day goes by without our little man wearing some sort of ‘Spidey’ under garment. Pants, vests, socks. Sometimes all three.
And finally I have learnt that if his superhero friends aren’t able to go to nursery with him, they can go to work with me.
