M picked out lots of toys for his bath last night. K was asleep and B was at Grandma’s for Latin night. Two of the "toys" were an old decorative Buzz Lightyear shampoo top, and an empty dish detergent bottle (my kids play with the recycling before it actually makes it to the blue bins). M filled the detergent bottle completely, placed the Buzz head on top tightly, then inverted it.
"Momma, see the bubble in the bottle? That’s how much water it would take to fill the Buzz Head."
DH and B arrived home at that moment, I had them come into the bathroom to hear M’s brilliance, K woke up hungry, and we went on with bedtime.
A great example of learning anywhere!
