A Nerd in the Making

In general, Eddie is not terribly interested in watching movies or TV. I am glad about this - to a point. While I am bummed that I don't have one of those children who can be plopped in front of a cartoon for 30 minutes and stay entertained while I do my own thing, I am glad that he does not yet know Elmo, Dora, Builder Bob, etc. The one character he does know (besides Batman) is R2D2.

On Saturday, while I organized our linen closet, Dave and Eddie started watching Star Wars: Episode IV. Dave chose that particular movie because of R2's prominence. This thrilled Ed. I could hear him all the way upstairs saying, "D2, D2, D2."

When I came downstairs, this is what I found:


Just a kid, enjoying his favorite movie with his daddy (a kid who will probably hate me in about 13 years for posting this photo of him).
