Little Scientists

My children have been actively involved in testing various hypotheses they have in physics, physiology, and sociology. Here are some of their discoveries.


*If you pull the ring on the cow it will play music (and mom will have to take pictures of such adorable preciousness).








*If you throw a light bulb at ceramic tile, it will shatter into more pieces than were in the original light bulb. When asked why he did it, Josh said, "I throw it. I break it." Oh, of course. (I would not have taken this picture if I didn't already have the camera in hand. Snapping photos keeps me from losing it.)


*If you put dad's deodorant on the cut you got from breaking the light bulb, your cut will not be healed, but you will smell great.




*If your mom is feeding or taking pictures of your brother, you can get away with a whole lot.

*If you pull your shoulder up and not only rotate your hips like you've been doing, you will be able to roll off of the play mat you have spent 3 months on. (I missed it, and only saw the results - but look at him rolling. Or look at him rolled . . .?)



*If you scream for hours straight, several days in a row, your mom will take you back to the doctor. (Is there a record for hours in a row screamed by an infant? I told Noah it didn't count unless there was a representative from Guiness there to witness it, but he was going for the record anyway. It turns out the poor baby's ear infection was worse than it was one week ago when I first took him to the doctor.)



*If you stack up the couch cushions, you will get a lot more air when you're couch jumping.



*If you throw all of the plastic cups and bottles out of the cupboard, each one will make a different sound when landing on the floor. "Sound, Mom," Josh would laugh after throwing each one. (Feeding Noah at the time, see earlier discovery.)



*If kids do a lot of experiments, Mom will turn on Super Why and disappear into the shower for the entire episode. (Aaaah . . . much better. Now it's all adorable.)
