Searching the galaxy for a princess who doesn't suck, I had somehow forgotten about the best princess ever: Princess Leia! It started with a 1980s Leia book and a few movie clips and stills, and progressed quickly to total obsession. At first, we thought, this is awesome, we can play Star Wars pretend forever. But even two huge Star Wars fan parents appreciate some variety :) Luckily Charlotte has thought up a ton of variations on the theme. There's Star Wars babies, which entails taking care of baby Luke and baby Han. There's Star Wars calling, where various characters call her up on the phone to chat. And of course Star Wars bath, where 3PO and R2 get up to various antics in the tub. We recently went to go see the costume exhibit at EMP (awesome), Poppi dug out his original Star Wars pillow case, and Cousin Hattie made Charlotte a Leia costume! We can't complain, it's actually pretty fun for Mama and Dada, way more fun than Frozen. Hoping we can stretch the enthusiasm to Halloween time :)
