Anakin

 
 
In full 'Anakin' character (because this is the way he stands!)
 
 
I love this pic because this is my view from the front porch every morning.....my baby heading to school with that hand thrown up.....so sweet!

Paine Primary hosted Storybook Character Dress Up Day today & Daniel went as Anakin from Star Wars. I had all of these GREAT ideas about characters he could be from actual storybooks, but he had his mind set on Anakin. I gave up fighting with him about whether or not his Star Wars books are storybooks (they ARE NOT!...would Librarian Melissa agree with me on this?). He wanted to be Spiderman at first, totally disregarding the storybook part of his assignment & just had 'dress-up' on his mind. I explained the storybook part & that is when he settled on Anakin because he has a bunch of Star Wars books, so Anakin it was. He was beyond excited about getting to wear a costume to school. I was a little worried because he left 'in character'......I had to say good-bye to Anakin instead of Daniel. He also took a light saber with him, so I wrote a note to his teacher saying that she should take it from him if it caused any problems. I'm happy to report that Anakin stayed on starry eyes! Maybe he should get to wear a costume everyday!!
