Year 5, Day 88

Long ago, in the "Before Times" of 2019, I purchased a ticket to attend Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. Then COVID happened, and the event got kicked out. Tomorrow, I finally fly out to California for four exhausting and fun days of convention-going. Had this event happened as scheduled back in 2020, Miles would have … Continue reading Year 5, Day 88 →

Year 5, Day 63

For Family Movie Night this week, Miles asked to watch "a Star Wars movie with Luke, Obi-Wan, and Darth Vader in it." Wouldn't you know, I had JUST the movie. Miles has watched a lot of bits and pieces of Star Wars movies over the years, but I think this may be the first time … Continue reading Year 5, Day 63 →

Year 4, Day 351

Miles received a Valentine's Day/Birthday combo parcel from Jaclyn's aunt today. Which gifts were for his birthday? We'll never know, because he tore into that thing like there was nothing but apple juice and fruit and veggie packs inside of it. He then attempted to hoard all his new stuff behind the couch. For a … Continue reading Year 4, Day 351 →

Year 4, Day 346

This week's episode of The Book of Boba Fett seems to have awakened something in Miles. I remember a time not so long ago when Miles was terrified of that lightsaber.

Year 4, Day 183

In the middle of watching The Phantom Menace, Miles darted off upstairs. He returned a few minutes later with one of mommy's hair towels, then retrieved his lightsaber spoon from the silverware drawer. Only then was he able to cosplay as Liam Neeson's Qui-Gon Jinn. He shoved the spoon in his pocket after seeing Qui-Gon … Continue reading Year 4, Day 183 →

Year 4, Day 135

Jaclyn: "I'm going over to my sister's tonight." Me: "Sounds good! We'll be fine!"

Year 4, Day 125

Amidst the frenetic happenings of last weekend, Miles came into possession some of his uncle's old Star Wars action figures.* I was unprepared, perhaps foolishly so, for just how into them he was going to be. For instance, he insisted on sleeping with several of them. Given the blanket, it seems appropriate. * He has … Continue reading Year 4, Day 125 →

Year 4, Day 75

Those who know me well (or have at the very least helped me move at some point) know that I have a vast number of artifacts from throughout my life that I have, for one reason or another*, refused to part with. I've always told myself I would one day either A) sell these items … Continue reading Year 4, Day 75 →

Year 3, Day 165

I was hoping we could make this afternoon a "Family Movie Day," and when Miles said he wanted to watch Star Wars, I knew we were both on the same page. Now we just need to work on "talking during the movie"...
