To the moon....!!!

So it's been getting dark earlier and earlier lately, as I'm sure you've all noticed.  And as a result the moon in the sky has become brighter earlier, like when we're outside playing after we get home from work/daycare.  And Z has become a LOT more observant about his surroundings in the last few months, so naturally, he notices the *bright* moon in the sky and says "Lookit!  Moon, mommy!! Da moon bright?!", "Yes baby, the moon is bright in the sky".  And you would think the cute and hilarious would end there right?  Just noticing the beautiful, bright moon in the sky?  Umm.. no, my child has to take it to the next level, because no one in my family knows how to do things *just a little*.. he says "I get it!!!", "huh? You get what baby?", "I get it da moon!"  L.M.A.O. You're gonna get the moon?  Well at least he dreams big. 

me: "You're going to get the moon Z?"
Z:  "yah, mommy, I get it da moon!!" 
     *stretches and reaches his hands up as high as he can*
     "ugghh, no can reach it!" 
me: "Yes sweetie, the moon IS high in the sky, we can't reach it" 
Z:  "I go get step, reach it da moon!"

So what does he do?  Goes inside, gets his Sesame Street step stool, brings it outside, puts it on the grass, steps on it, reaches again, and says... "ohhhh maaaaann!  No can reach it da moon!" 

And no.. it doesn't end there folks, this kid is DETERMINED to reach the moon, he tells me "go get spaceship, reach it, da moon!"  As he goes inside the house, gets his toy rocket ship, brings it outside and makes rumbling noises with his mouth as he says "spaceship reach it da moon mommy!" 

One day, this kid is going to reach the moon in his spaceship, one day soon :).
