The Dark Knight

I'm pretty sure my son is Batman. I have several reasons to think so, including this telling photograph:


Aside from wearing a dark hooded cape, we've also noticed a trend towards nocturnal activity. Scott used to go to bed quite readily at 8 or 9pm each evening, but lately he has fought off the sandman like a true superhero. He fusses and screams until he's hoarse and coughing (thanks to the recent cold and post-nasal drip), and then the coughing keeps him awake even longer and makes him even more ornery.

I've seen the latest Batman movie, and I thought Batman was kind of grumpy at night too. Can you see the parallels?

But, just like any good superhero, Scott manages to sustain another identity during the day. Every morning he reverts back to the smiling and laughing little cherub that melts our hearts.

Criminals of Gotham/Calgary, beware.

You can see his superherosity in his super-cuteness and his ability to bite either fist at will.
