October 21

Brady was a few minutes late getting out to the car after the bell rang this afternoon. When he finally zipped around the corner and into view, he was clutching a plastic bag filled with a pink substance. As he slipped into his seat in the back, he explained that he'd run (probably literally) to his science classroom to get the substance they'd created today. 

I can't remember what he called it, but it was comprised of two parts of corn starch and one part water. I know because as soon as we got home, he asked if he could replicate the project and then dug around the in pantry in search of corn starch. (Which, for the record, I did find for him. Eventually.)

I love his curious little mind and his enthusiasm. Given that it feels like apathy often runs the world, his desire to "do" is a blessing.
