Ava very excitedly came home with a planets worksheet today. I love her enthusiasm for all things science. At night before bed I usually watch some Nova, she asks questions and I explain things. Not long ago, in fact, we watched one about the planets. I count it as a parenting win. At the risk of ruining the moment, I had to point out to her that Pluto isn't a planet. And Jupiter has rings. "Oh, ok," she said. But I don't think she really believed me. I mean, the worksheet's some pretty serious evidence.
Ava decided to draw me and emme tonight. Emme and I watched and emme even helped color in some hair. The drawing in green was done a few days ago... I think I did the flowers in the hair and Ava did the rest.
Started a new log to hold Ava's drawings and art. Put a few in there and moving forward I'll capture as many as I can. It's interesting for me to watch how her drawings change over time. Even in the four I've posted so far there's a lot of progress (they span about six months.)
Telescope!
