I'm going crazy here! I have 2 brothers, ages 5 and 3. All they EVER want to do is play superheroes (x-men mainly), which of course involves fighting and weapons. All they talk about is superheroes--the shows they watch and the video games they play(at home they watch superhoroes and play marvel games on the x-box all night long), telling me different powers and suits each one has, and on and on and on...I know dad is very into this kind of stuff too, so it's his way of spending time with his boys.
This week we're doing a farm theme--they were excited for the new toys and farm stuff that i had out, and I even got down with them to model how to play with the farm, but after 5 minutes the cow and the pig were in a cosmic battle. Is this normal boy stuff? Since I know I'm not used to boys, I try to not be too critical, but this is really getting on my nerves. It feels like I'm telling them every 5 minutes "you may not play that here, save it for home"
So I'm just wondering if am I overreacting to normal boy play or. if not, any ideas how to get them to stay interested in ANYTHING else?:confused:
