Over the Labor Day weekend, my daughter, Natalie, and I took my granddaughter, Sabria, to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Sabria has an affinity for all things outer space.
Before she could walk, she wanted us to carry her around outside in the evenings so she could see the moon and stars. She is three years old now, and has often expressed a desire to “float around up there.” She throws things, like Barbie dolls, up into the air and, unlike me, is unalarmed when they come crashing down into the kitchen sink.
