The kids made their way through Jedi today - they have now seen the full original trilogy. And they loved it. Isaac was very happy that "Dark Fader" died, but respected that he sacrificed himself. They LOVED the Ewoks - Isaac was marching around making Ewok noises all evening...
I am willing to give George a pass on the Ewoks - they were cheesy, but the kids do love them. And since the "Special Edition" did away with the YubYub song...
One thing I was a bit embarrassed about - I caught myself muttering every line the Emperor said, just as he was saying it. Isaac noticed and asked politely "Dad, can you never ever do that again?".
Isaac has a terrible cold, so I've been loading up the videos and keeping him comfortable. One thing I thought he'd like are the Clone Wars shows - they're 20 minute episodes of pure action set in the time between "Clones" and "Sith" in the Prequels. They have a lot of Light Saber Yoda action in there. What's interesting is that the exposition is about 2 sentences at the beginning of each episode, and then you're right into it.
After two shows, which he did enjoy, Isaac insisted on Episode IV A New Hope again. And he sat and just enjoyed the full "real" Star Wars experience. While blowing his nose non-stop.
Bella is doing well with her guitar lessons - she's taking it seriously, and played her practice songs for us several times today. She gets this faraway smile when she does so.
And that's the update for today.
