pirates and sword fighting

Tyler has been into pirates ever since our return from Disneyland.  He likes to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean videos on the lego website and there are a couple of clips from the movie that we let him watch on youtube.  He's enthralled.  A month or so ago he wanted to find Pirates of the Caribbean music so we downloaded a short song and he spent almost an entire day sword battling to the song.  He even set up pillows and used the couches.  I can just see in his mind how each pillow and couch is magically transformed into rocks and stone structures (like he's seen in the movie clips).  I took this video early on.  The "dance/battle" has become much more complex since.

The other day he wanted to be Jack Sparrow.  He picked out his clothes and we worked together to put together a hat (complete with hair)
