Car Seat Moon

I have been learning so much with Aidyn over the past two weeks as we've tackled the start of our homeschool year. I am trying to get a little ahead so we can take a nice break when Baby Landon is born. This week we are studying the moon (Did you know that the same side of the moon always faces the earth although both are rotating and orbiting? Interesting, no??) and we were reading a book that described the phases of the moon. It is very fun to see Aidyn say, "Gibbous!!" with excitement when she knows what phase the picture is showing. My favorite moment of the lesson was when she pointed to the crescent moon and explained, "That's the car seat moon." I guess "gibbous" is easier to say than "crescent."
