Congratulations to Stephanie Vollowitz of California, winner of our Little Capers Super Force! Sweepstakes. Stephanie's name was drawn at random from the 51 entrants who lovingly mapped out a Super Force! made up of their children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, their children's friends and neighbors, and even babies on the way. Stephanie selected a Peace Hero shirt for her toddler son, a Flower Hero shirt for his "strong and sweet cousin," and an infant Green Hero onesie for a new niece due in less than two weeks!
We loved reading the many personal and thoughtful entries readers sent in as they celebrated their children with this contest. A sampling of submissions follows.
Anne: "A small super force, in more ways than one. Dash and Lennon were preemies, born a week apart, and lived in the hospital together. They are superheroes. DASH needs the lightning bolt, because he is DASH, fast as lightning. (18-24) LENNON needs the red star hero, because while she's named after John Lennon she sounds like a super commie. (18-24)"
Kristen: "Megan - Pink Earth Hero, sz 6. Protector of the all the creatures of the earth; especially kittens and bunnies. Paul - Saturn Hero, sz 4. Travels to galaxies near and far to protect and defend against bad guys and the evil chicken. His mentor? Super Mario Galaxy. Nick - Lightening Hero, sz 6. Quiet on the surface but packs a mean punch. Confident team player. Emma - Flower Hero, sz 6. Sweet and sassy and bold just like the yellow flower she wears; brings joy to those around her while always lending a helping hand."
Noreen: "Abigail: Flower Hero, she loves picking and giving flowers (even to bugs) we are still working on asking mom before picking all of the flowers in the yard, size 6. Grace: Heart hero, she has a big heart and is always asking everyone if 'they OK,' size 2. Kaley: Pink star, she is a diva through and through, size 4. Olivia: Pink earth, short sleeve, she is always reminding me to recycle and wants to save the earth, size 8."

My almost 2yo daughter Mikaiya: Pink Star short sleeve, size 2 (she looks good in pink and black). My 2yo granddaughter Nevaeh: Heart short sleeve, size 2 (she loves hearts)."
Julia: "Norah - Blue Earth Hero (short sleeves size 2): Norah helps her mama recycle and dig in the earth. She is quite the aspiring Captain Treehugger. Ryleigh - Heart Hero (long sleeves size 2): Ryleigh has special needs due to birth trauma. She has the biggest heart around and can spread the super-love! Miles - Peace Hero (short sleeves size 4): Miles the Montessori Master is learning to make peanut butter sandwiches not war. Clementine - Pink Earth Hero (short sleeves size 2): Clem is still getting mama's milk from the crunchiest earth mama in town."
Tricia: "Ian - Lightning hero because his intellect is as quick as lightning, had us outsmarted since day 1 (size 6). Calvin - Saturn hero because he's flashy and would love to blind us with the silver cape (size 4). Sydney - Heart hero because she stole the whole family's heart when she came along (size 2). Bryan - Lightning hero because they like to match and fight crime together (size 4)."
Man, that was fun.
