Letters to Myself

Here's every child's fantasy come true: Five-year-old Boy Dressed As Spider-Man Saves Baby From Blaze. Here's the telling (read: alarming) particular:

While playing in his back garden with a friend, Riquelme Maciel spotted smoke coming out of the wooden house’s windows and ran to tell the baby’s mother, Lucilene dos Santos.

But Ms Santos was too afraid to enter the blaze, so it was down to young Maciel to step in and save the day - he rushed into the burning house and grabbed baby Andrieli from her cradle.

That actually sounds about right. Ian could be a superhero, as he has no fear of, you know, gravity.

This story also reminds me of Jon Morris's Little Batman comics:

Yes. Yes, he does.

(Actually, all of Little Batman's adventures are just adorable and touching as all get-out, so I'm linking them here:)

Fair warning. Number six and the last one kind of get to me. Sniff.
