more Star Wars

I happened to catch Spike TV's "Force of July" Star Wars marathon. It started yesterday with The Phantom Menace (Episode 1) and will have one per day through Return of the Jedi. We started Dennis with Episode 4 because that was the first one made (and also because we own the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS). Tonight we finished watching The Phantom Menace, which Dennis loved. I'd forgotten what an awful movie it is (acting, characters, etc). Sadly, Dennis has a new favorite Star Wars character. He has thrown over R2-D2 in favor of Jar-Jar Binks. Oh the horror.

Thank goodness for DVR. While Star Wars may be PG, the commercials on Spike most certainly are not!

Tonight, Dennis took care of me as I suffered a headache and stomach cramps. He covered me with a blanket, brought me medicine and a cup of water, wet a washcloth (well, actually he picked a hand towel) and put it on my head, brought a music box to soothe me, brought a plastic bag in case I needed to throw up, and gave me a big hug and kiss and told me to feel better. Then he asked "so am I acting like a nurse?". I told him he was the best nurse ever! I'm so fortunate to have such a thoughtful child!
