outer space!

my lovely 6 year old is learing about space and the solar system at school. i've always been fascinated by space myself so i started talking to her about it. so we go through the list of the planets and various other things, she told me that "the guys who built the moon took it over to the sun and filled it with light! " how do you argue with that.

we've had a few discussions about outer space , including one about pluto. i told her that pluto used to be a planet but they changed it to something else. i assumed what i said was a little over her head but last night, out of the blue she asked us " why are they trying to get rid of pluto?" i told her it was because pluto sucks.

You're right Pluto does suck. Emily and Hannah are equally fascinated by Astronomy. Hannah always wants to go to the back deck to look at the stars and always has some interesting theories about why things are the way they are. Hugs and kisses!

I have never had any interest in space or anything so it's kind of cute that Grace is so interested. She is smart one.
