In case any of you are interested, the Perseid Meteor shower will be at its peak this week. I plan on taking Gerard out (or waking him up?) to see them. If it's a clear night, we should be able to see DOZENS of shooting stars per hour. Check out these sources for more information:

my motherly advice - don't wake him up!! take him to the internet and show him what he might have missed
no star (except maybe Michael Douglas) is worth a tired, cranky, out of sleep little boy - only thing worse - a tired, cranky, out of sleep BIG boy :)
Arleen, I'll keep that in mind. NASA says that it's best to see them Tuesday between 9 and 11 since the moon won't be so full so we'll try that first. If that doesn't work we'll go for midnight on Wednesday (when they're ACTUALLY at their peak). He's got nothing going on this week, so he can sleep in or take a tap on Friday!
enjoy whatever you decide to do !!!
