Galaxy Girl

One year at Christmas, Mark bought the kids a toy from the Discovery Channel store that projects constellations onto the ceiling. The rotating mechanism has long since been destroyed, but we still have the globe itself, which sits on top of a flashlight so that the images can be projected.

When I walked into her room today, Caroline was standing on the bed, draped in a sheet, holding the "torch" straight up into the air.

"Look, Mom!" she said, "I'm the Statue of Galaxy!"
