up, up, and away!

A couple of weeks ago, I checked Holst's Planets out of the library to accompany my enthusiastic relation of Dr. Ward's Narnia/planet theory.

No. 6 loves Jupiter. In fact, at the moment we're listening to about the twentieth consecutive repetition of it.

An interesting side effect (and a little scary) is her Jupiter-inspired enthusiasm for the solar system and now space travel. She says she wants to go to Jupiter. I showed her pictures of the cramped quarters in the space shuttle, especially the less-than-desirable showering facilities. She is undeterred.

We may have a future austronaut on our hands.

Remember, she doesn't take showers, she takes baths!

Don't you dare let No. 6 go to Jupiter. I worry enough about the travels of No. 1.
