Space Monkey

7/30/2009: Miles is talking up a storm. He won’t stop talking. He tells me all about everything he observes, from the "big hills" and trees to the moon in the sky.

His favorite subjects right now are, “honey bees” and how they take the pollen from flowers to make honey, and anything to do with space rockets, the moon, earth and all related subjects.

Tonight we ate dinner in the gazebo at his request (he calls it “the big house outdoors”) and Miles looked up to see the moon. It was about 5pm and still very light outside, so Miles wanted to know what happened to space? And he wanted to “check it” (the sky) over and over to look for the earth in relation to the moon. I had to explain the earth, moon, and space over and over to him but he never tired of it. Now he wants a “space room” with “space monkeys”. I’ll have to start painting over his old mural and prepping his room asap. He’s very insistent.
