Every night we read a few books to Teagan and Amelia before bedtime. Recently we have found Teagan likes to curl up in our bed and read before going off to her room. She is old enough now to pick out her own books. She is very opinionated on what she wants to read. A while ago I bought her a My First Batman and My First Superman books. I also got a My First Book of Girl Power super hero’s but i have to say it is a horrible book. Many nights when Teagan goes to pick her books to read she picks one or both of the Batman & Superman books. Tonight was no exception. She had her Batman book in hand and kept pointing to a top shelf with more books and I couldn’t figure out what she wanted to read. I picked her up and asked her to point out what she wanted. She went straight for the Superman book.
We did our regular bedtime routine and read both books along with two other ones. The past few times I have read the Batman book I have sung the Batman song to her: Tonight MC and I did it again with her and she started singing it back to us: NANANANANA BATMAN. Even after we started putting her to bed she kept singing it NANANANANA BATMAN. I will be honest and say that Batman is not one of my favorite super hero’s but teaching my 2 year old to sing the Batman song makes me feel successful so far as a parent!
The more challenging task will next be how to introduce her to Doctor Who beyond the action figures she has.
