Future Astronaut?

Last night Killian and I took a trip to the gas station for some milk and of course a treat... It was quite late, but lil Killa' was wide awake jabbering my ear off. I thoroughly enjoy listening to my little 4 Year Old when he is rambling about all kinds of crazy information that his little brain has accumulated over the short 4 years he has lived...

Last night, Killian's lesson for Mom, "Space!" He informed me all about Gravity, told me what it was and how it worked. Now I am pretty sure his definition was not exactly as scientific as it should be, but Holy Cow I was amazed. His lesson went something like this, "Gravity is on the Earth, but not on the Moon. It is why when we play outside we don't fall off Earth. The Earth goes around and around and we never fall off because of Gravity. If we were on the Moon and we jumped we would float and fall off because there is no Gravity on the Moon, someday Mom I will travel to the Moon and tell you all about it."

He went on to tell me about the "Planets in our Solar System," (and yes those were the exact words he used.) He told me all about Jupiter, Mars, Earth and Pluto. "Earth is in the perfect place because it isn't too far from the sun so it stays a good temperature, but Pluto is far far away from the Sun so it is very cold."

I didn't want our little adventure to end....there are days when it seems nothing goes right, but then there are the little moments like these that make everything so worth it. I love you little Killa and I hope one day you will travel to the Moon so you can tell Mom all about it.
