For as long as I can remember, Zahn has absolutely LOVED dressing up. Even as a little toddler he would dress up in chads ties and shoes etc, put on a bag and say, "I'm daddy and i'm going to work". So the love of make believe and dress ups started very young for zahn!!
As a now 4 year old instead of dressing up in daddys clothes and wearing funny hats and sunglasses, he has become, "Zahn-the Spiderman, bat, heat blasting, teenage mutant, star wars - skeleton, ninja turtle" which in other words means, he is generally wearing (or trying to wear) one of these outfits EVERYDAY (ok not everyday but OFTEN). The sad truth is, sometimes I throw them all in the washing basket and say he can't wear them because they're "in the washing basket".....just to give the boy a break (but really it's because they are all about 1000 degrees and zahn does have a tendancy to overheat as he's burning around being a superhero) so don't get me wrong.....I absolutely love seeing him wear 'his costumes' and love seeing him have fun in them and I encourage him as much as the weather permits (the overheating thing) but sometimes when he puts on those ninja turtle pjs or that batman cape, along with that, he also whips out what he likes to call, the "turtle power" or 'bat attack' moves. So I do try and give him a balance so he's not 'using his super powers' all day long (in other words - so he's not kicking and punching his brother all day)

Hahaha what a crack up- I think you should put him into acting school... He would love it and it would use up a bit of that super-hero/ dance machine energy:D
he probably would love it.....then he could "whip" out some of his break dancing moves too.....hahahahaha
