During the winter break, Rachel and I one day watched the first two episodes (really, Episodes 4 and 5) of "Star Wars." Drew bought her a lightsaber during the New Year's Eve festivities in Falls Church we watched Episodes 4 and 5 the next day (and 6, the final one, a few days later).
Turns out that after a year of saying, "Mommy, I'm not ready" to see the movies, she LOVED THEM. She took her lightsaber out every time Darth Vader showed up and tried to join in the fight scenes. She liked "Return of the Jedi" so much (because of the cute ewoks, of course) that during a playdate with her friend Simone this past weekend, she had me turn on the movie so they could watch in AGAIN. They looked so cute huddled under layers of blankets because the basement is so cold).
When I told her that we would be getting together with a colleague of mine from work, his wife an his kids, and that they are around Rachel's age, she asked, "So I can talk to them about 'Star Wars'?"
So glad we can pass on that nerd tradition to our kid!
