Starting her young!

TheLonelySquire

Vice Admiral
My 7 month year old daughter has seen more than 30 episodes of TOS. Today we watched "Operation: Annihilate" while I fed her second food pears.

Just thought you guys should know there will be another TOS purist posting here someday.

How many of you have babies/kids that you're indoc, err, introducing TOS to? ;)
 
Good stuff, Squire!

I've been indoctr---uh introducing my 2 year old boy since he was an embryo :lol:.

So far, it's been a major success - he has a phaser and communicator which he uses to shoot monsters/call Spock for reinforcements during episodes. His favourite character is still Bones.

Anything with a monster is a favourite, but his most requested is Shore Leave. "Daddy, Bones and Bunny?" :lol:

Excellent! I might take her down to the man cave this morning and let her watch Shore Leave in blu-ray (original effects of course) on the 50" plasma. Not showing off here, just want her to enjoy the show!
 
Shore Leave has always been my favorite ep. I just like seeing what crazy things pop out of people's heads.
 
I introduced my daughter to Trek. At first she resisted and mocked me. But she learned that resistance is futile, and now she's a fan! Good job, Squire!
 
Thats awesome SQUIRE!

we tried it with both our kids (now ages 15-1/2 and almost 25). My daughter resists but my son, although you couldnt consider him a 'trekkie' loved the new movie and now plans on going back to the beginning and rewatching everything.

Good luck! I think its really great what youre doing!!

Thanks, Randi. I'm also playing music, generally top-40 stuff, from the mid-60's to the mid-70's. When I was a child my sister used to play this for me and I loved it. Still do and thought she might as well.

We did it too, when my son was young, he eventually wandered from the flock, but NuTrek has brought him back into the fold.

Funny about the music, we tried that too. We listened to all kinds of music when he was younger, only he picked up the love of classical from my (now gone) dad, so he'd (my son, who is almost 25 now) would be upstairs in his room blasting classical and we would yell "TURN THAT DOWN!!"

Once my dad passed (who was my best friend) i started listening to pretty much only classical (and ST Soundtracks) and now my son listens pretty much ONLY to rock! Kharma is a bitch!! LOL!

There is another thread either here or in General trek where i posted some pictures of things little trekkers might be interested in. Dont know if you know about some of the fun things available for the little ones, like Trek Beanies, Pop up Books and a cool star trek drawing book. Will post the pics here in case you cant find that thread. And, enjoy watching Trek all over again, only this time, through your DD's eyes. Its a joy!


Bear (from STTE, but also available elsewhere on line probably ebay...also Vermont Teddy Bear has one but they are pretty expensive)

Pop up book (this is pretty awesome, its not that many pages, but it has lots of pop ups that are gorgeous, and things to open. Also the enterprise on the cover is one of those ships that swoosh,

Come to think of it the Neural Parasites kinda look like second food pears...
 
Well, my darling Mum always tells whoever will listen that "Operation: Annihilate!" was the first thing I ever watched in utero. -_-

However, my 3-year-old nephew came over last night because he wanted to watch Star Trek, and my brother doesn't have a TV...
