Ah, so THAT's it!

Me, sitting at the computer. My kids, playing in Stomper's room, directly adjacent to the computer. Bitty, dressed in full-princess gear, and the kids are actually playing somewhat nicely together. They're discussing their respective super hero powers. Bitty says proudly, "My special power is keeping people awake!"

Oooohhhhhh, so THAT's been the problem! No wonder she doesn't like to go to sleep!

She then asks Stomper what his super power is, whereupon Stomper cavernously opens his mouth lets out a massive, satisfied and very hearty belch.

Got it.

I wondered why Romney didn't sleep. Its so funny how quickly they pick up on the superpower thing and want to play. Right now Mo has a superman cape on(and underwear-we're trying it out) and Sam has on Spiderman. He keeps trying to scale our entertainment center. I love it, but not as much as their dad.

She surely has more than one with such a bundle of energy in that little body. When she was here yesterday she said she had the power to turn everyone into a princess. "EVEN YOU!, Margaret! Even you!" Wow. Now that is a super power.

That is so funny my kids play super hero all the time and I love to listen to them and their powers too. Next time I'll write down what they say. Good idea.

I want the super power of not needing sleep, too! Is it contagious?

I'm impressed your kids had crab - that sounds like a long meal of you getting their food ready to eat and never eating yourself!
