Hail to the Chief

In case you didn't know, Owen is crazy about U.S. Presidents. Seriously, crazy about them. It started at 2 1/2 when he discovered some pictures of the presidents in a dictionary that we have. "Mom, tell me who they are." So, I did. "Again." OK. "Again." A president flashcard gift by his Mimi sped up the madness, and before you know it he knows all the presidents by name. This was a year ago and the craze hasn't decreased. We've checked out library books about the presidents and played with those flashcards until they have become lovingly bent. Owen has told random people when we're out and about that they look like certain presidents...my favorite being the time he told a man at Wal-Mart that he looked like Rutherford B. Hayes...the man ignored him. When Owen is playing baseball in the backyard he'll say something like, "Johnny Reagan is up to bat." I ask who that is. "Ronald Reagan's brother." Of course... So that brings me to this pic. Owen got these glasses at Awana last night and has transformed into Teddy Roosevelt. And apparently, I didn't know this before, but Teddy likes to tackle his little sister...go figure.
