Our Own Little Solar System

I've been bombarded with questions about the sun setting, rising, moon, etc lately and this morning it was worse than normal FFM was being extra inquisitive.  I went for the fruit approach.  By golly, it worked.  He TOTALLY gets it now!

It was even better when I made the mandarin orange sun 'shine' with the LED flashlight.

Things went downhill when FFM ate the grape tomato moon, though.  Then the apple Earth.  Our solar system kind of fell apart and was just a flashlight sitting on a mandarin.
