I took R2 out for the first time on August 18, 2007.  It was the first time we've seen him at this stage and assembled - it was VERY cool to see.  Xander was totally fascinated.  I'm so proud of him.

I love this one, and the way Xander is touching R2.

Aww! Who's cuter - Karen, Xander, or R2? I know. R2.

Xander was fascinated by R2.

So that's why he's in every shot. Besides, every R2 goes better with a toddler!
