The Batgirl

Emma has become a huge Batman fan. Her enthusiasm for Batman has reached a whole new level, and so far I do not see an end in sight. She loves getting comic books, chapter books, and "Batman: The Animated Series" from the library. When she's home from school she basically focuses all of her free time on Batman. She spends hours on her new superhero, and has pretty much left the world of Disney Princesses, kittens, makeup, jewelry, and Barbies behind (at least for now). I'm sure she still likes all of these girly things, but they have definitely been pushed aside for now.

Since Emma doesn't really own many "non-feminine" items, Brad and I decided to get something special for Emma to help her express her new found passion: a Batgirl costume. Emma LOVES it! She's been wearing it indoors and outdoors; having a great time playing the part of Barbara Gordon.

I love my little Batgirl. I think she's becoming more and more like her daddy all the time.
