Obsession

I told you last week that my 5 year old son has watched Twilight more than I have. Now you might be asking yourself son? Yes son, not my 8 year daughter. He loves it, and when I say love I mean obsessed by it. He has probably watched it a hundred times.

In the very beginning he compared himself to Edward.
‘Mommy does Edward bathe? Because if he doesn’t I don’t need to.’
To this I responded yes he bathes.
‘Mommy does Edward brush his teeth, because if he doesn’t I’m not going to either.’
‘Mommy Edward doesn’t sleep, so I don’t think I need to sleep either.’
So you see my dilemma, but he loves it.

And he can scope out anything Twilight in the stores. I’m not in the door good at Border’s and he has rushed to the table of collectible dolls, jewelry and calendars demanding one of everything.

Now I did go and watch the New Moon movie when it hit the theatre. Of course he wanted to go to, but I talked him into waiting for it to hit the movie stores. And to my disbelief 10 days before its release he started the countdown. He would announce to everyone he came in contact with that ‘The New Twilight was coming out in 10 days.’ Yes that’s what he called it, but now that we ran out and bought it on the 20th, it’s become New Moon. So when we went to Border’s to get the special 2 disc set again, he was more than elated. It was late before we were able to put it in and watch, but that sweet baby stayed up until 11p.m. to watch this movie. I figured he would have conked out at the beginning but he did not. Not once did he talk, move, or blink his eyes. For him that is a miracle on all accounts. Most days getting him to watch cartoons while cook supper is hard enough. He's a busy body and never sits still, but for New Moon, he does.
