After getting a Green Lantern game with 3-D glasses for Valentine's day, Max has a new found interest in the Green Lantern super hero. I have really enjoyed helping Max obtain all the necessary gear to become the best green lantern he could be. First, we made a ring out of a bottle top and one of my craft jewels. Next came a cape. Technically, Green Lantern does not have a cape, but Max wanted one. At first, the cape was a rough piece of satin fabric. While he was at school today, I found a matching red piece and sewed it into an actual cape. Finally, Max announced that the ensemble was not complete without the power source to charge his ring. I suppose he is right. He will not be able to maintain his powers with out the power source, the lantern. So, I got a ginger ale bottle from our recycle bin, hot glued 1/2 of a take out container to each side and bent a clothes hanger into a handle. He was thrilled. I feel like this is the first time in his little life I have actually blown his mind like his daddy seems to do every day.
