5-4-3-2-1-and lift off!

Jonathan became quite interested in the whole space shuttle thing lately. His interest started before the launch, though, and accelerated because of it. We have watched several clips on YouTube which only increased his interest. We have some great books here in the library which he has been enjoying.

He built a rocket ship out of K'Nex, and after seeing the launches, he added rockets to the sides of the "shuttle", and a crawler like they use to bring the shuttle out. Enjoy!



Then, Jonathan got Annisia to be an astronaut with him. He is a little sponge, soaking up any information we tell him about the whole space and astronaut thing. Watch Annisia...she has information to tell me too!

Now that "Astronauts" video (the second one) is just TOO CUTE!! I had to chuckle over, "I'm a baby astronaut!" *laugh* Thanks for sharing!

I love the way Jonathan talks. He is such a little man. They are both adorable. Your log home is beautiful! It's so fun to get a little glimpse into your life. I'm glad you look happy. :)
