Alec has discovered space (well "shpash"). He LOVES watching shuttle launch videos almost as much as Evan did at this age. Of course, Evan's tastes are a bit more sophisticated now so the boys argue over watching the launch (over and over "gain") or videos about the Mars rovers. Alec also says "Erf" while pointing to a picture of any planet. And "star". He also knows some of the words and signs for "twinkle twinkle little star".
Given the boys very different natures however, I think if they end up working for a space program it will be in very different jobs. I could see Evan actually being an astronaut given his love of adventures and easy-going way with all sorts of travel. I think his main hang up would be the dehydrated food options.
Alec, though, he's more likely to be a feet-on-the-ground engineer. The kid loves to figure things out; nothing stops him once he sets his mind to something. I don't see him going into space though. He doesn't even really like to go to the store. So far, he's not much of an adventurer. While I imagine someday he'll again be ok with being more than, say a 1/2" inch from me, I'm not sure I see "astronaut" in his future. I can imagine him designing rockets. If AJ is in charge, astronauts will go to Mars and beyond because AJ doesn't take "NO" for an answer.
