Vern, an avid amateur astronomer*, pointed out Antares to the Bear tonight, as he put him to bed. (Yes, the kids got to bed pretty late tonight.) Their conversation went like this:
Vern: "That's Antares, Bear. It's a star, a special kind of star called a red supergiant."
The Bear (very excitedly, in his lilting, earnest, overly-precise 3-year-old's voice):
"I want to get one of those! I really need one of those!"
Hey Birrd . . . see any family resemblance?
*Astronomer . . . not astrologer. ;o)

So you've got my Rabbit's twin, Fish's twin, and probably Peanut's twin as well. AUGH!!! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER??? (Though we will have to find a venue that can survive the onslaught of the combined forces of Rabbit and Bear!)
Thank you so much for visiting my little corner of blogsville and leaving such a sweet note. I definitely agree that colorfully wrapped books will bring a pop of color into your "white walled rental". =) So thrilled to meet yet another homeschooling momma! Your little bear is precious. Hope we can keep in touch. Your newest follower.
