Beside a cornfield in a small town in Kansas, a quiet, unassuming boy waits patiently to fulfill his destiny.
Or for his turn on the slide, whichever comes first.
From the makers of Scarecrow 2010 and Gnome 2011, it’s Clark Kent 2012!
*Thanks to Greta for the invitation to Monkey’s first ever costume party! Super Toddler walked in the door this evening after the festivities, put on his jammies, announced “I SLEEPIN” then conked out cold.

I seriously COULD NOT BELIEVE how cute he looked when he got out of that car. And then I finally got to hear him say Aunt Getta and I died. Cold. I’m so thankful to have you guys in my life. Thanks for coming all the way out here!
We’re thankful you have so many kids so there’s always a party!
(Also, I have a GREAT pic of T that is classic blackmail material. Muahahah.)
Too darn cute not to comment! … and funny… I had the same costume idea for my little man, but he is set on Spiderman or Ironman. Happy Halloween!
Aw, thanks! I know I’m running out of years where I have any say in his costume, so I’ve been making them count.
You did good Mama, LOVE it!!
I just died of the cute.
Yes, good way to go.
Stop killing me Julie.
(no don’t stop!)
I had to get even with you for the collared shirt/teething photo you posted on IG. How does he have TEETH already? And wearing a collared shirt?!
I just came back to look at this for a third time because it’s just so cute. Brinky wore a button down oxford shirt for the first time yesterday for a wedding, and I’m wishing I’d put a Superman shirt under it just for fun.
Oh, I bet he was so handsome! I’d kind of like my kid to wear those glasses every day. He looks like his dad!
I absolutely loved this! Boy does he ever look like his dad with those glasses! I love your creativity with his activities. But then Mawmaw might be biased…nah he is just that darn precious:) Counting the weeks til I get to snuggle with him.
Counting the weeks until TURKEY AND DRESSING OM NOM NOM.
He is really freaking cute. Superhero cute. My son is going to be a fireman but this is a great idea for next year! Kiran
Thanks! Oh, he’d love to be a fireman I bet.
This is SO adorable! The perfect little Clark Kent!
Julie, I sent you an email from my work email but they sometimes go to spam. I would love for you to consider sharing your pregnancy and parenting adventures with the site I work for – so please check that email out and get back to me if you’re interested – I adore your candor, wit and fantastic writing voice!
Hi Nicole,
Thank you! I was thrilled he acquiesced to wearing the glasses.
I’ve checked all my folders and don’t see an email from you. Thanks for the compliment!
Julie
