My boss, Ojae, got a real kick out of Nolan when he came to my office dressed up as Darth Vader for Halloween. He told me Nolan is "a pretty cool kid," and has since asked me how Nolan is from time to time. He particularly thinks it's awesome how much Nolan loves Star Wars and how much he knows about it.
Over Christmas I was telling Ojae about how we've been watching Star Wars Rebels and that Nolan has been saying he really wants a lightsaber like Ezra's. Well, if you haven't seen SW Rebels, Ezra's lightsaber is one that switches on command from a lightsaber to a blaster. I assumed they didn't make a toy that could do that and had to explain as much to a disappointed Nolan.
Apparently I don't know what I'm talking about ☺.
Over Christmas Ojae asked what kind of Star Wars stuff Nolan was getting for Christmas. I told him and then explained how he really wants an Ezra lightsaber, but I didn't think they made them. Then during one of my one on one's in January he asked about Nolan again and again Ezra's lightsaber was brought up. I joked about it and then Ojae said, "Well, they actually do make them...and...I got one for him." WHAT?!!! haha, it took me a good 2 minutes of asking him if he was joking and if he seriously bought my son an Ezra lightsaber before I believed that, yes, he did actually get him one! He said he was at a toy store getting a Kylo Ren lightsaber for his son when he saw it in the corner away from the other lightsabers and just had to get it for Nolan. SO so nice!!
I had to figure out a way to get Nolan in to my office so Ojae could be the one to give it to him. So, on a slow day he came with me to work!

Ojae coming in with the new lightsaber! He was pretty excited to give it to him which was cute.
I'm not sure who had more fun, Ojae or Nolan!
Luckily a lot of people were gone because Nolan was running around and hiding under people's desks haha.
Another co-worker, Dave, was super sweet and let Nolan use his tablet to watch a show while he ate breakfast (and so I could get some work done)!
Nolan was seriously SO good. I had planned to just have him there for a couple of hours and then run him home at lunch, but he was so good I just kept him there with me.
He melted a lot of hearts with his cuteness and made lots of people laugh with his Star Wars knowledge and intensity. Even weeks later people were coming up to me and talking about how cute he was!
We headed down to daddy's office to say hi (he melted plenty of hearts there too).
Then to City Creek for lunch
Back at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building
I almost forgot! I was pretty daring taking Nolan on this kind of outing when he had been potty training for less than a week. But he did amazing!! We even brought his chart along.
After work I had my piano lesson so my plan was to drop him off at Jeanni's for an hour, but he really wanted to stay with me. He'd been so good I figured, why not? And he was really good there too, didn't even interrupt us except for at the very end.
After the lesson Chelsey ran the train they had out on the table and Nolan loved it!
It was such a treat to hang out with Nolan all day. He really is fun to be around (as all of my co-workers can attest to). The day made me resolve to make sure Justin and I spend some one on one time with each of our kids often to make sure we're connecting with each of them. And I was happy to know that Nolan wanted to spend time with me as well ♥
