Start them young
Do any of you watch the Clone Wars? I enjoyed the movies much more than this cartoon, but DH is watching it and consequently, DS as well.
I'm not sure it's the best thing for a 6 year old, it is violent, but at least the good guys win.
When it comes to Star Wars…you could say DH feels "Start them young"
Anyway, the key to getting DS a costume for Purim was accessories. DS was with me yesterday and we went by this small toy store with a huge range of costumes, and well at first he said he wanted to be a Pirate because they have a gun and a sword, but then he couldn't find it, instead he found a light saber…and I found they had Star Wars costumes.
So I stupidly asked…and sure enough the boy was interested, he's wanted a light saber for a while now. So I had to get the original since this store took the trouble to import it.
I ended up spending triple what I thought I would have to spend for Purim. Oh well. He can play with the saber year round. As for the costume next year he'll be in a new school and will not know anyone, so no harm in wearing the same costume again. So it's good for 2 years.
He is quite excited about this costume.
We went with Anakin Skywalker because DS does not want to be a bad guy.
They had Darth Vadar, Storm Troopers, Cody Banks which is a clone and some weird looking Star Wars creatures. The saber he got, is really Luke's Saber, but I didn't see a Luke costume.
I have to wonder if DH is a little envious.
This is the costume:
