Day 245: Afternoons With Stormtroopers

Cam hasn't been feeling well with a head cold the last couple days, and that combined with a suddenly week of rain has foiled any outside activities, so we've been laying low a lot, watching a plethora of Disney movies and playing with toys that are abandoned on sunny days in lieu of Nerf guns at the playground. 

Camden LOVES Star Wars. I mean both boys love Star Wars, but Cam LOVES it. He knows all the movies, the characters, their stories, the types of vehicles. The only toys he really plays with other than Legos are Star Wars action figures. And he plays with them like crazy. 

This afternoon after school, Cam brought down this Playskool AT-AT, which is big and chunky and strangely adorable in a cutesy Imperial Forces About To Kill You sort of way. 

He had a whole dialogue going on at the kitchen table, about the storm troopers and who's the leader and what they're trying to accomplish and how one fell out and got stepped on. And then he knocked the AT-AT over and said "And now it's Rey's house!" (Which, if you're the last person on earth that hasn't seen The Force Awakens yet, Rey (main character) lives inside a destroyed AT-AT). 

One tiny tidbit in one of a million Star Wars movies and Cam remembered and recreated it. 

Coolest nerd ever.
