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

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.

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"...
Year 3, Day 137
He may be young, but Miles is already developing an ear for orchestral music. Sure, his love of Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld" stems largely from its use as backing music for a couple Disney songs, but what's more heartwarming (for me anyway) is that he's already able to distinguish John Williams scores. Sure, he … Continue reading Year 3, Day 137
Year 3, Day 60
Despite some initial apprehensions, Miles has become fascinated with lightsabers. He'll find random objects around the house (some "saber-like" and some...really not) and start swinging them around while making "KSSSH" noises. It's really pretty heartwarming.Even more heartwarming was an exchange between Miles and his mother that I was thankfully around to hear today."Miles has a … Continue reading Year 3, Day 60
Year 2, Day 293
My son has finally gotten comfortable around lightsabers. TOO comfortable.
