He has an innate science instinct in him! When he was a toddler (walking but not talking), he discovered that the humidifier would blow a balloon up into the air so he started getting other things to see if they would go up too. He tried paper, blocks, rocks, cars, etc. As he got a little older, we'd catch him "doing science" by mixing things he found in the kitchen together and putting them in the freezer. I decided that we'd better channel that more productively before he made something dangerous so we started doing science projects at home. That, combined with a LOVE for The Weather Channel got him to this point. His project for this science fair is a home made barometer which he used to make weather observations to see if he could predict precipitation. At the moment, he aspires to be a meteorologist! Anyway, I've only helped foster his natural interests (so that he didn't blow up the house or something!)
He was NOT a good baby.. he cried for hours on end and was colicky for months.
