Aaron has also become obsessed with swords and has a stick "collection" on our front porch that rivals any armory. We reached a low last night when we found the citrus grater he'd been using as a sword was next to the toilet. Today, although I swore I would never buy my child an actual sword or gun, we went and picked out a Nerf sword. He loves it. After we had picked that out, he asked if he could also get a toy. When I pointed out that he had just gotten a sword, he replied, "That's a weapon, mom, NOT a toy!"
In the great tradition of knights, sir Aaron was pulled in a red wagon while wearing his Lightning McQueen sunglasses.
