Lightsabers are female

On Sunday we took Sven to the OMSI Star Wars exhibit. Sven had a great time - he especially liked the robots part of the exhibit. Then we let him get a new lightsaber for a souvenir toy. He held onto the new lightsaber for the entire drive back to Seattle. He didn't even take a nap, he was so excited.

That evening, he said his lightsaber was his new friend and started referring to it as "she". When I asked him if the lightsaber was a girl he said "yes." He wanted to sleep with his new friend, but we told him it should sleep on the lower bunk instead.

This morning, the first thing he wanted to do was see how his new friend was doing. He's pretty thrilled.
