Aviva - do you have the creature power discs ready yet?

Just so you know, my name is Aviva and I make creature power discs all day long.

No, I really am and I really do.  If I ever forget, Lincoln, er I mean Martin, (or is he Chris?) will remind me  - over and over and over again.  He is totally into it and I'm amazed how well he stays in character.

By the way, since we're on the subject, Lincoln has designated Grandma Earl as Koki.  And daddy is Jimmy.  They're thrilled, I'm sure.

For months Stephen has REFUSED to play along.  In fact, he's been very annoyed and frustrated by the whole thing.  It's been a huge source of contention for months.  Lincoln constantly calls him "Martin" or "Chris" and Stephen replies by saying "NO I'M NOT!"  Unfazed Lincoln simply states, "Stephen it's two brothers on a mission." 



Don't misunderstand, Stephen LOVES Wild Kratts but he claims he was too embarrassed to make-believe like Lincoln.  He just "couldn't say 'creature powers, activate!'" because he felt "silly."

Well that all changed a couple of days ago when we were discussing his 6th birthday and his "Wild Kratts Birthday Party."  I was looking for some ideas online and he spied some really cool homemade creature power suits and discs.  All of a sudden, he was Martin and they were activating creature power suits all day long.  I kept getting startled by Stephen calling me Aviva and asking if I had finished the discs.

This morning I was awoken a little earlier than I would have liked by the boys presenting me with my new computer:

 To their credit - it does kinda look like Aviva's computer.  They were pretty proud of it and didn't canibalize it for parts for at least 2 hours.  That's a pretty long life-span around here.

Wild Kratts is definately the favorite show, computer game, make believe play, discussion topic, etc at our house.  We'll see if Stephen is still into it in a week when it's time for his Wild Kratts party.   :)
