“When God wants a great work done in the world or a great wrong righted, he goes about it in a very unusual way. He doesn’t stir up his earthquakes or send forth his thunderbolts. Instead, he has a helpless baby born, perhaps in a simple home and of some obscure mother. And then God puts the idea into the mother’s heart, and she puts it into the baby’s mind. And then God waits. The greatest forces in the world are not the earthquakes and the thunderbolts. The greatest forces in the world are babies.” ~ET Sullivan

Ra-Ra-Ra for Rocket!!!

Lately we've become a little preoccupied with the Little Einsteins around here (thanks to potty training, of course). Leah would rather not watch anything else. This is only a problem because we have to watch the same four episodes over and over and over again. So while Leah is commiting each episode to memory, reciting the songs and saying "Blastoff!" every 45 seconds, I want to curse classical music and I begin to bang my head against a wall.
Naturally, Leah wants to ride in a rocket. Sometimes we are able to convince her that our red car is a good enough substitute. Here is the "Rocket" that I made her, complete with steering wheel, rocket phone, and pipe cleaner antennae. The puffs and wrapping paper are supposed to be buttons (but don't feel bad--Leah didn't get it either). And I'm not sure about the significance of the star headband. Don't ask.
