Max has decided he is going to be an astronaut.
He is enthralled by anything moon-related, and he wants to ride in a rocket ship to the moon! We have been checking out all of the kids books we can find on space travel and moon landings, and we've found some fun songs that teach about the planets and rockets. I'm really enjoying this, Max's first future occupation! Who knows what he'll come up with next?
Yesterday, he had Daddy fly him around the room like a rocket for a long time. When Daddy finally got tired, Max ran back and forth across the room, throwing himself at the couch and yelling, "Rockets go fast!" at each impact. Then he told us that when he travels to the moon, we can come too.
We explained that if he wants to be an astronaut, he needs to study hard and do well in school- so his plan is as follows, in his own words: "Go to 'cool, 'tudy hard, and be an atro-naut!" At the end of one of his library book, the author asks, "Do you think you'll go to the moon someday?" And each time we read it, Max replies with confidence, "Yes, I will!"
