This is what we've been learning about this week.
Driving in the car last week, Emma starting asking about the sun & the earth & planets - and after replying "I don't really know" to an embarassing number of questions, we decided to head to the library. We picked out a big stack of books and have been working our way through them.
Emma's trying to learn all the planets in order; something tells me she'll have that down pretty quick. And she's really interested in the concept of the Earth spinning around & moving around the sun, she's constantly asking questions about how that all works.
:D
Did I mention Emma starts preschool a week from today?
Did I mention how filled with uncontrollable excitement I am?
Gonna be a great year, folks.
** it occurs to me that the more information Emma receives & the more intelligence she acquires, the more dangerous an opponent she'll become in our daily battles... too late now I guess, already paid this month's tuition. **

Hooray for preschool! She's going to do so well! I'm surprised you had time to post something with Mockingjay out... LOL Nevermind - You've probably already finished it!
Siobhan has been asking me all things outer space lately as well. That's because she wants to be an astronaut. i had to explain to her the other night why the sun is out sometimes and not out so that started the whole conversation about the earth spinning and going around the sun. So funny. And it's weird, becuase I know all the answers (from my days of wanting to be an astronaut....still do btw) but it's hard to bring it down to their terms.
