MORE Star Wars

Last night after Kelly and Riley finished watching Empire Strikes Back - we were doing something later on and Riley randomly says - Darth Vader is still in my head Mommy. I AM the FATHER! LOL! THEN...when he was brushing his teeth after his bath, he says it again - Mommy, Darth Vader is still in my head! If Riley were waking up in the middle of the night right now - I'd blame Kelly for exposing him to Star Wars violence! There are 2 bad scenes in the movie where Darth Vader cuts off Luke's hand...Riley drew his own conclusion and said - Mommy - he knocked his light saber out of his hand - so we're going with that one explanation for now. Then there's another one where Yoda is making Luke face his greatest fear or something..I don't know..and he cuts off what appears to be Darth Vader's head (it sounds WAY more gory than it is), and Riley said Mommy, he knocked his helmet off! So we're going with that explanation AND fast forwarding through that part of the movie now! I'm probably overly protective of Riley seeing things he shouldn't on TV, and Kelly is overly oblivious! Which I don't get b/c he was a scared of all sorts of stuff when he was a young kid! And we already know Riley inherited his obsessive tendencies and overly active imagination! LOL! 

So today...Kelly and I both went to get Riley from school and when we walked in the door at home - the FIRST words out of Riley's mouth were none other than - Where are the light sabers? Seriously...bless his heart! I can't make this stuff up! 

Of course, Kelly and I don't help matters! I had bought Riley a new Star Wars shirt a few weeks ago at Nordstrom's (in the NON little boy size), and when I got it they had a Darth Vader one I didn't buy. So I gave in and bought it today, and of course I couldn't wait 2 weeks until his birthday to give it to him so I showed it to him today. He just said Darth Vader shirt! Then went to get his light sabers...then as he's playing light sabers with Kelly - all of the sudden he says - I want to wear my Darth Vader shirt! Kelly put it on him, and he said I AM THE FATHER! 

I'm thinking I should have bought at least 2 of those shirts b/c we may have a daily battle because he'll want to wear it EVERY day! Bless us all.....
