Movie Night

Erik and I LOVE watching movies. Sadly we haven't been able to get out to the theater much since we've entered our babies days. Nevertheless, we are happy to catch up on the latest movies cuddled up on our own sofa at home. The only problem is that we and our children have very different ideas of what a good movie is. Erik and I have a list of movies we'd like to see, but our little ones are happy with a VHS of "Bob the Builder"...not usually how we want to spend movie night. Keeping that in mind, two weeks ago on our Family Friday, Erik decided it was time to introduce the world of Star Wars to Noah. We could enjoy an adult movie and hopefully our kids wouldn't protest too much. Win, win, right? But could a two year old handle it? We were ready to find out. I made the popcorn. Erik set up the DVD and we were ready to roll.

Noah was hooked from the first booming notes of John Williams. It's been awhile since Erik and I have watched any of the Star Wars films. We both forgot that pretty much every scene has some sort of fighting in it and wondered why we haven't thought of watching this classic sooner. Noah has now officially entered into the world of light sabers, droids, and wookies. He has become a walking Jedi always on the look out for a star trooper, even if we are just roaming the grocery aisles...I have lost him to the Dark Side...

And I didn't think he was ready.
