Musical Astronaut

February was a busy month - We went to the Children's Museum and learned about the first space mission with the Liberty Bell. David was amazed that a man could fit into that tiny space capsule! Space is pretty cool, and we often look to the sky to see where the moon is and any planets that are visible. This morning he asked why the moon looked white, but in pictures of the moon with astronauts it looks gray. (I'll get right on that!)
 




We also visited the symphony for the first time. David thought the show, Beethoven Lives Upstairs, was a pretty big hit. I can tell he has an appreciation for music, and he's asked to take piano lessons next.

After the symphony, we had fun at the school's Mother-Son Game Night. He thought it was funny to wrap me up in toilet paper

Back to the gym

David asked to go back to gymnastics this spring, so he's back at the gym once a week. This time we picked a place closer to home -- at this stage he's not on the Olympic training schedule, so it should be just fine. He's working on mastering a cartwheel and can almost climb to the top of the high rope. He's having fun and making it look pretty easy so far.
