I might be trying to indoctrinate my 2 year old daughter

[DirkSteele]

Just been shopping and I picked this up for my 2 and half year old daughter. I might be trying to bring her into the Astronomy community! But in my defence she was asking about the moon at 18 months old and she now refers to a waxing crescent as a baby moon.

 

Fingers crossed I have an observing buddy in a few years. She does have some rather good glass to look through. 😄

Let's hope you're successful and she doesn't ask for the Pony on the top behind. 😲££££££

She just called a waxing gibbous moon a mummy moon. I think I see where this is going… I know I have been a bit greedy recently, but ouch….

Going by her naming scheme on the moon's phases, she seems to have quite an advanced understanding there. 

Think about it: calling it a baby moon is apt and correct as it is early and so young in the lunar cycle.

Our daughter was age 2 when she called one of her dolls 'Baby Vega' and knew that it's the first star you can see on a summer evening. 

Ended up getting a Masters in Astrophysics from Edinburgh.

Good luck to yours.
