the flying dress

It's not obvious what Willow is doing in this photo, but she's running up and down. She believes her superhero dress enables her to fly. The other day I took her dress off to give her a shower and she wailed "I don't want to take off my dress! I haven't had a chance to fly in it yet!"

Spotted at DFO Sydney: Superhero converse. There's a pink version online.

Spotted at Target, in the boys section: a spiderman jacket that caught Willow's eye.

Not pictured: Willow's habit of randomly running around the house, fighting monsters, while scowling so fiercely.

It's such a shame that 98% of superhero stuff is aimed at boys. It's like they're saying it's abnormal for a girl to aspire to be heroic, to want to be strong and brave, run about and to slay monsters.
