Space Shuttles and Rockets

Elise is really into space shuttles these days. Peppered through my day are questions like, "do the astronauts get to choose to sometimes go to space or sometimes do things at home?" She thinks that any lights she sees zooming across the sky at night are space shuttles. I keep my mouth shut and let her continue this belief. And in exchange, I get a count each morning of the number of space shuttles she saw while looking out her window at night.

Elise quote of the week:

"When I grow up and am an engineer before I'm a mommy, I'm going to make all of the rockets and space shuttles pink because pink is my favorite color. Were the rockets and space shuttles blue when you were an engineer?"
