The Spidey Stance
Each Sunday morning when we go to church, Jack goes to his "class" after about 45 minutes of praise and worship with the congregation. He loves it in there, even though it includes babies who are about 5 months all the way up to kids his age (2).
(Sometimes the people that cheerfully and willingly serve in the class get confused and wonder if he's one of the helpers.)
Anyways, last Sunday he was having a great time just playing with this one new toy he found. Out of the blue a kid comes up to him and rips it out of his hand. Without batting an eye, he went into the "Spidey Stance". He basically was in a sort of kung fu type of stance with his one arm stretched out in front of him and his hand in the spidey formation. It's the sign for "I love you" in sign language. The middle and ring finger are curled in and the other three are outstretched. (For the uncultured)
Needless to say, I was a little embarrassed when the Nursery worker told me all about his "Spidey Stance" when I went to pick him up. I was just glad he didn't follow through with any violent actions. :)

Hysterical.
I wonder if he's going for the whole power of intimidation! What a cutie. :)
sounds like the "spidy world" goes with you everywhere these days - the spidy stance and all - it's when you change into your spidy suit and begin to jump from chair to table in defence of others in the childrens class that true alarm should come to your parents - love ya - meemaw
Oh, he outghta come over here. He and Joel would have a great time. Joel has black and red mittens he calls his Pyre'man gloves. As for imitating superheroes,better Spidey than other creatures of evil-vs-good. The other day we were in Sears' jewelry department and Joel started creeping stealthily (is that a word? or is stealthfully?) around in between the racks. At one point he started to "shoot" an enemy (a neon-bedecked manekin). I asked what he was doing. Without looking at me, but keeping his eyes on the "emmamee" he said gruffly, "I have one kill left."
