Experiments and such as

I decided it would be fun for us to play with corn starch mixed with water (you know, so it's both a liquid and a solid... pretty cool stuff). We made a huge mess but it was totally worth it.
Later the grown-ups played with hydrophobic sand. I was too busy being eight years old to think of taking any pictures or video. Here's a pic. I found online to give you an idea though. Then of course, there's the Mentos and Diet Coke trick:

Kathryn loves playing with water, especially in her new froggie pool and especially with Unkie Johnny!
She learned to say bling today. I kid you not. She could say jewelry, earrings, necklace, ring, etc... (you can tell this is a topic of interest) but today, she learned BLING. As she would say, my GOODness.

Oh, and she said watermelon. Wa-ter-me-lon!!! She has learned a lot of her letters. I don't push things, but she has been very interested. Kids do things so fast and well once they are determined. It's exciting, and at the same time, I want to say "slow down, you're growing up too fast!"
