Yep, Captain America, as well as Yoda and Bell, made an appearance at church today.  It was pretty funny, and the adults all enjoyed it very much.  But one of the realities of my world is that I have a four year old that is not into that much reality.  Yes, now just before bed we have been insistent that he puts down his shield and take off his mask.  (We already got him to take off the costume earlier to eat, except for the mask) But at least his protests are consistent…….he needs to first fight crime, and then taking off the mask would reveal his secret identity.  Higher powers often prevail in such circumstances, so criminals hopefully will not take advantage, for Captain America is in bed.

Of course yesterday it was Batman, as it has been 24/7 for the last few weeks, but to trick or treat I am putting my money on Captain America, since he rarely vacillates in short cycles.  And I should be clear, the scary part is that he is not “in character.”  These appear to be complete transformations.

I often wonder just what he does in his dreams, although I am pretty sure it has to do with fighting crime.  But I do not worry about it.  He is all boy and he has awesome heroes.  And I am just glad to know he sees me as a “good guy.”

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
