4:00am. That's when we left town.
5:00am. The approximate time that Autumn announced she saw constellations. Isn't it a little early for anyone to be checking out constellations? Especially when you've been up since 3:00am, and the kid's been up since approximately 3:45am?
It's ok - I played along. I asked Autumn, "What constellation do you see?" figuring that she would tell me she just saw stars.
To my surprise, she said, "It kinda looks like a dog."
I whipped out my Google Sky Map to see what kind of deciphering of the stars she was doing. I mean, she couldn't possibly see a dog, right?
Wrong.
Perhaps I should give my kiddo more credit. Canus Major right where she pointed. *I* can't even figure out the constellations...but I guess the eyes of a child see things differently. I am pretty proud of her. :)
