The Ewok
ByAbby and Elijah love to pretend they are various characters from either books or movies. The Incredibles are their usual favorite. Of course, they love to pick the main characters, which leaves their little sister, Naomi, with the leftovers.
For example, if Abby is Dora and Elijah is Diego, Naomi gets to be Boots. Yes, Boots the Monkey.
There are other examples, but today was one of my favorites. After walking out the backdoor, I encountered Abby and Elijah playing Star Wars with their pretend ‘light sabers’. Elijah was Darth Vader and Abby was Princess Leia. Elijah then informed me that I was Hans Solo. Mommy, interestingly enough, was Luke Skywalker. And then, Naomi, he said matter-a-factly, was the teddy-bear, the Ewok. I loved it. No doubt it was her choice.
Don’t you see the resemblance?

I see the resemblance, and I see the animal theme. Maybe it is because most movies have two main characters at that age?
