Many 4 year olds girls are princess-crazy, pink and purple covered, rhinestone-bedecked floozies. If it doesn’t have a wand or a crown, they don’t want it. Everything is poofy and cute and rainbow-riffic in their worlds and that is the way life is supposed to be.
I should know: my daughter goes through phases of this frequently, and has on previous occasions even brought her crown to bed with her.
She does however, have a dark side to her sweet innocence: She loves Darth Vader.
S. – Age 4 knows Darth is not the good guy, but I think she feels sorry for him and thinks that he is lonely. She also has an appreciation for Yoda, but Darth Vader she has up there with Batman and Ironman when it comes to colorful super characters, and Darth is the only one she always blows kisses to at the parade.
Cracks me up!
Anyway, one of our weekend bits of fun was pumpkin decorating, and we were able to put some of that Star Wars fun into it. Meet Darth Pumpkin! My daughter was delighted!!
The green you see in the back is actually the Yoda on the other side of the pumpkin so that the forces of good and evil have some inter-gourd balance.
