Saving it for space...

Braxton is ALL about space these days....actually he has been for over a year now. It all started when he said "Mommy, I want to go to space." I told him it cost a lot of money and we better start saving up. He invited Pops (Steve's dad) to go along...not only to see the moon, but to foot the bill! Pops bought him a special piggy bank just for his space money. Ever since that initial conversation we have been putting coins in his piggy bank for space. Each time he finds a coin he gets all excited and says "Gonna put this in my bank for space" and runs to his room to put it away.

We thought that his interest in space would've faded by now, but a year later it is still going strong. Steve went to NY this summer and brought back some of that yummy space ice cream for Braxton to eat. It has been sitting in our pantry for almost 2 months because Braxton would not eat it. "Gonna save it for space." Talk about self-control!!! He seriously would not open it because it was going on the shuttle with him!! :) I found it on the shelf a few days ago and asked him if he wanted to taste it....nope! I told him we would buy him some more to take to space if we really wanted to see what it tasted like. After a little convincing he gave in, "Okay, mom!!!"
