The boys and I stopped by the Dollar Tree the other day to pick up some envelopes. We hadn't been in there two minutes when Reeves spotted these light up swords. Well, of course we had to get them since Star Wars is his favorite movie, not because he's ever seen it, but because it's Davis' favorite movie, ergo, it is something Reeves should love with all his heart. 
He calls it his "yight-haber", due to the fact that his l's are y's and his s's are h's. He prances around the house making "shwing, shwing" noises and fighting bad guys. Bennett got a green one and immediately beat it against the floor as soon as we got in the house. A shard of hard plastic popped off, so now both of their lightsabers are wrapped in clear shipping tape. (I'm pretty sure this makes them safe for 15 month olds now! They're kind of like tempered glass now. If he breaks it, it breaks as one piece, and unless he's going to be a sword swallower when he grows up, we're OK.) It was actually a fortuitous breaking because now they are both a lot stronger than they were before their clear casts were applied. Bennett has already learned how to push the button to make the light go on and off, and remarkably, neither of them has left theirs on for extended periods of time, so the lights still work. Seriously, three or four days of solid fun use out of a dollar store toy is A-OK in my book.
