Caped Crusader / Julius Caesar

Scott has a little green blanket that he loves, made out of soft fleece. He often likes to rub it on his face when he's sleepy, and it is always in the crib when he sleeps. In the last month or two, he has occasionally pulled the blanket out of his crib and carried it with him as he walks around the house. With his little arms, it's often hard to keep the blanket high enough to keep away from his feet. He's a little steadier now, but when he was first walking, stepping on the blanket was enough to wipe him out.

So I came up with a solution.


I wrapped it around his shoulders like a cape and tied up the ends. It doesn't appear so from the pictures, but he actually loves it. Every time we put his cape on him, he walks over to the full-length mirror by the front door and checks out his outfit. Then he marches around with his hands free to deliver shoes to any part of the house he wishes to conquer. I like to twist the cape over one shoulder to free up his right hand a little more. I think it makes him look like Julius Caesar -- the green fleecy version of Caesar.


Scott's blue blanket with the hooded corner is another classic cape. In honour of this week's release of the new Batman movie, here's a shot of him as the Caped Crusader.

He just oozes victory and justice in these outfits, does he not?
