Speaking of Darth

To help Henry stay in bed at night we made an incentive chart. Every night that he stayed in bed and did not whine about going to bed (which I'm learning may be too high of an expectation for a two year old, but it's worth a try) earned him a sticker in the morning. Before this incentive program we tried everything to keep him in bed. Nothing worked. For weeks night times were a major struggle, but this incentive program finally worked!! Oh, what a two year old will do for a smiley face sticker. After earning enough stickers he earned a surprise (a toy of his choice).
What did he choose? "Darf Vader from Meijer."

He loves him.


He loves pretending to be Darth, but not the bad Darth. "The Darf that changes from being bad to good because of his son Wuke Skywalker."


I brought this Kleenex box home from Meijer and thought it was pretty cute in our bathroom. As soon as Henry saw it he said, "Mom, that's spooky." I can see what he means, but I still think it's cute. Then yesterday I noticed that Henry placed his Darth on the toilet positioned to stare at the "spooky Kleenex box".

Then I went back and noticed the Kleenex box laying on its side . . .

Just kidding.
