I suppose I'm okay with that...

I dumped the RSS feed for the blog into a wordcloud generator just to get a sense of what I was saying. I like it. I can go to sleep at night knowing that's more or less what I choose to write about. I can dig it.

From Abby's science kit, appropriately titled, "My First Science Kit".


Last night, after dinner, we "did science". My daughter got a science kit from Santa Claus, and the first series of experiments are all about color theory. We created all those various colors by pipetting three primary colors from test tubes. Then we added Polyacrylamide crystals to the colored water and "grew" colored crystals. She loved it, almost as much as I did.

"Finally, not scared of the man in red."


"And I want a camera, and a phone, and a science kit, and a bicycle, and legos, and art stuff..."

Real quick, here’s a tip:
In the bottom right corner of the video, click and select 720p HD. Then, if you want, watch it in full screen mode. It really was more of an experiment with HD, so to enjoy it fully, go for the HD experience.

I love this for a couple of reasons. First, it’s completely spontaneous. Cleaning up after dinner, I saw the baby reach across her tray and just grab the container and start licking it. Immediately I thought, “I’ll grab my camera”. Second, it was completely created on the iPhone. I shot it on the iPhone,  added the little title in the corner on the iPhone (iMovie for iPhone), and added the music… on the iPhone (again, iMovie for iPhone… $4.99). It took me all of 5 minutes to shoot, edit, and create a wonderful little spontaneous moment with my daughter.

Then another minute or so to paste it here and share it.

Not bad. Enjoy.

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na... Batman!


Saw it in Bi-Lo, on the way out. Immediately thought, "Abby will love this".
By the time I got to the office, the package was torn open, and I was going, "VROOOM VROOOM!" on my desk.
Am I a horrible parent?"

Speechless


I couldn't make this up. 4 years old and this is what she draws when she gets mad at mommy.
