Every boy loves superheroes, right? You can’t go wrong if you introduce Batman, Superman, Spider-man, the Hulk, Ironman, or the Flash into the mix of fatherhood. You will absolutely spark your son’s inner strength with the mere mention of these names. Be careful though. I have made the very costly mistake, many times, to prematurely drop my guard after such a name drop. The result. Pain for me… as a 2 or 4-year-old fist strikes my solar plexus. Thump!
You have been warned!
By this point, I am hopeful that you are collecting ideas on how to add Dadnamics to your Dad time. Some are harder to do than others, but not this one. This is EASY. All you have to do is fly your boy around to the sound of you humming the Superman theme music. That’s exactly what I did on video, twice.
The original “Episode 8 Superman Fly” was at a local park last June. The park was showing Big Hero 6 drive-in style on the side of a building. The town had vendors and musicians, making the event a great family environment. We got there with an hour to spare (and that’s a huge win for our family). We laid our blankets, grabbed a snow cone and popcorn and waited. The band was playing kid-friendly tunes like the themes of Frozen and Mission Impossible. Then they played Superman. I sprung into action in the middle of the crowded park to fly my younger boys around. You can’t see it in the video, but there were many smiling faces from neighboring blankets.
“Episode 42 Superman Fly Revisited” was recorded about 2 months ago. After 3 months of footie pajamas, I finally realized that I could bunch up the fabric on their backs and lift the boys by it. That spelled F-L-I-G-H-T. My 11-year-old captured one of my many Superman journeys on video.
I couldn’t justify making 2 episodes for the same thing. Therefore, I have combined Episodes 8 and 42 into one “Superman Fly”. Have fun Dads! You absolutely CANNOT go wrong copying this Dadnamics idea. It works every time, even when the boys are mad at you… (That doesn’t happen to you too, does it?)
