Olivia the Scientist

Mineral excavating with hammer and saw.
Cleaning specimen.
Examining, studying, and categorizing.
Climbing our Magnolia tree.
Examining up close.
Snake habitat.

For a while now, Liv has gravitated toward the sciences. Bird watching with Dad, star gazing, reading about marine biology...but lately its has grown even stronger. She has been given the freedom to pick a small item from the toy store as a reward for consecutive eye patch wearing and she always comes home with something that knocks my socks off. She has brought home a bird whistle, bird feeder, magnifying glass, mineral making kit, mineral excavating kit, etc. The other day Duncan received some plastic snakes and Olivia ran to empty the blocks out of their box to create a "habitat" as she called it. Science was never my strong suit- it was Justin's. I certainly hope this trend continues but in the mean time I love watching her learn from her daddy.
