Jedis, capes, ghosts, and consequences: recent Baxterisms
“I’m practicing to be a Jedi. I’m going to be a Jedi when I grow up. So I need a lot of space.”
“Mama, so you know what my skills are good for? Protection, because I have my cape on.”
“But aliens are fiction. If you did saw an alien, that would be a person, right? Dressed up for Halloween. Some people want to be ghosts. If you’re a ghost, you don’t have to stay dry. You can have a blanket on. You can be a red ghost, or a green ghost, or a blue ghost, or a orange ghost, or a tan ghost, or… A silver ghost!”
Of The Secret of NIMH: “Amelia, I’ll keep you not scared. I KNOW it’s not real.”
“I like snakes and polar bears. And guess what, that’s where your hair stops.”
“AMELIA, if you don’t let me come into your room for one more second, I won’t let you come into MY room.”
Happy birthday dear Baxter
Christmas birthday cake
I asked Baxter what kind of frosting he wanted on his birthday cake: vanilla, peppermint, or chocolate. His answer: “brown.” 
My new Death Star
He just loves calculators
Elfed out
A short play (with no actual ending yet)
A careful reading of Star Wars
Lately our bedtime reading has been half Ivy and Bean, half Star Wars: The Adventures of Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight. I’m going to miss these three while in Philadelphia for the next 6 days. 
Kitties
Overheard:
Baxter: “I’m turning into a kitty.”
Amelia: “Why?”
Baxter: “Because my mind loves kitties.”
“When people are mad at kitties, sometimes they hide.”
“Where’s milk? Tuna fish! Tuna fish! Tuna fish is the BEST!”
Grateful for sweet morning snuggles with this squishy morsel
Introducing the first ever Jedi knight-bird
“And do you know that Peep-Peep Head turned into a Jedi knight-bird? And his new name is Sparklers. And he has a secret x-wing, and it’s (whispers) my trampoline. And that’s why his head is bigger. And he has a invisible light-saber.”
