THE CUTEST LITTLE DOCTOR WHO EVER!!!! 

We just finished David Tennant’s run. So sad. I hope this Matt Smith character is at least as awesome as this little baby girl Doctor.

ELEVEN aka GREATEST BABY EVER 

VS

The Dalek

(the aka link has a LOT more pics and excellent anecdotes.  Also, this wee bb is female*, and I am kind of loving the fact that her* parents weren’t like “all right, guess it’s companions for her.”  NO.  She’s the mothereffing Doctor.  And she gets to meet the actors she’s dressing up as!

…no, I’m not at all jealous of this wee little bit.  Nope.  *snif*

(*as far as we know now)

OMG, that is awesome!

We still haven’t let our guy watch any Doctor Who, because franky, they’re too scary for him and fairly adult in concept these days. We might start him off in a year or so on some Four, see how he likes that.

This. So much. WOW.

1. High five your nephew for me.

2. High five yourself for being an awesome uncle.

3. Super Hero Squad, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, Power Pack (there are several great limited series in recent years) and the classic ’60s stuff. Maybe get him some Essentials editions and use them with him like coloring books. 

National Literacy Organization Teams with Comic Shops to Collect Comics for Kids

I’m pilfering this from happyblogtime.com because it’s awesome and important. Spread the word, help out, give some comics to kids.

December 14, 2010 - This month, Reading is Fundamental begins collecting old and used comic books for their National Literacy Project. Comic shops across North America are taking donations for their local RiF chapter throughout the holiday season.

This is a call to please donate your comics to the cause! Last year’s inaugural donation drive totaled 10,000 comic books and graphic novels. The comics were then distributed to after school programs all over the country. Efforts are being doubled now and hopes are that RiF can collect 20,000 comics this month – the goal is to get kids hooked on reading and clear your shelf space for more comics.

Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) is the largest children’s literacy nonprofit in the United States. We prepare and motivate children to read by delivering free books and literacy resources to those children and families who need them most. We inspire children to be lifelong readers through the power of choice. RIF provides new, free books for children to choose from and make their own. The seeds of inspiration in these books have motivated children to follow their dreams and achieve their potential. Yes, it seems incredible for a book to launch a life, but it happens every day as hungry, inquisitive young minds reach out and grab hold of the new people, places, and ideas that books bring them.

How do I get a group of 4 year olds into liking marvel heroes?

Anonymous

I’d suggest starting with Super Hero Squad. There’s a really fun TV show (great for kids with jokes and fun stuff for adults) which is currently on its second season on Cartoon Network with DVDs readily available now, numerous video games, tons of toys that are perfect for lil’ ones, a series of SHS comics, free comics strips on marvel.com and more.

Also, all things Marvel Adventures. GREAT comics, especially those produced over the last few years.

There are also some downloadable bits and games at marvelkids.com that you can enjoy together.

Good luck!
