Meghan: Star Wars Lifer

If you've been around Nolan at all recently you know he's into Star Wars.

I remember being at the store with Justin when Nolan was a baby. As we were perusing the toy aisle he said he couldn't wait until Nolan was old enough to play with the 'fun for daddy too' toys ☺

Well, the time has come and both of them are really enjoying it!

watching darth vader. Darth vader is coming! He's kinda scary. Using his PEZ, 'it's me' it's me' haha

imagination -- he likes to pretend his Darth Vader PEZ is holding things or that his blanket has glasses (but blankets glasses are green ☺)

"Milken Falcon"

Always singing the Imperial March -- gets lots of smiles when we're out and about

So excited about his Star Wars lunch box for Jeanni's house

We were reading this book and when he saw the Millennium Falcon he just had to run to the other room to grab his 'Milken Falcon' that cousin Paul gave him.

He finally got to check out the Disney store! He was in heaven!! I'll never forget showing Nolan this lightsaber (that lights up and makes noise) for the first time. There was awe in his eyes, and then pure excitement. He carried it all around the store!

Gm Bailey was a little worried about how we were going to get out of there without buying him anything. Oh don't you worry Gm, we're mean parents and have no problem saying that a $30 lightsaber for a 2 year old is just too much.

Of course, Gm and Gp couldn't resist getting him two shirts though haha!

He needed new swim trunks so of course we went with Star Wars ones. He loved them! Once I put the trunks on before we left the house even though he's not potty trained and told him that he couldn't pee in them. He looked at me and said, "Well, I can pee on the storm trooper because he's bad!" haha

Using my hand blender as a light saber. Even though I was pretty impressed with his creativity,

...we decided to get him some 'real' light sabers. We figured why not when they're only $3?!

Branson loves them too!

Grandpa Bailey doesn't stand a chance!

He would go on the zip line and yell, "bah buy bad emporer!" as he went.

Gp's little helper trying to fix one of the lightsabers.

Beck and Rhett getting in on the action.

He got great Uncle Robert to read him a Star Wars book.

And made sure Granky knew who all the characters were ☺

We met Uncle BJ at Target to check out the Star Wars toys.

Nolan LOVED Uncle BJ's Star Wars lego collection (and I think BJ is super excited for lego fun with his nephews in the future!)

SW characters lineup - a common sight in our house. SW toys, lightsaber, and movie.

I let him bring just 2 of his Star Wars toys to daddy's softball game and he kept himself occupied with them almost the whole time!

He's serious about lightsaber duels.

One night I went in to check on him before I went to bed and found this. He had asked to keep Obi-wan with him in bed and he still had it in his cute little hand ♥
