Ash got a science experiment book for Christmas and he's had a BLAST with it!! Brandon and Ash recently did an impromptu experiment from the book. We had to choose one that we had all the supplies on hand for and so we did the classic "balloon on top of a 2-liter coke bottle" experiment!! As you can see, Ashtyn was SUPER PUMPED!!!! The experiment didn't take long but Ash thought it was SO cool that it didn't even matter...

As soon as the balloon started expanding and blowing up Ashtyn jumped backward and yelled "WHOA!!" I love seeing Ash so excited about exactly what he's interested in. I hope he never ever loses his passion for math and science and I really really hope he stays true to himself as he grows up. Just like his daddy, I pray he is never afraid to be himself.

It was difficult for me to get Ash to take his eyes off the balloon long enough just to take a picture...!!!

It was short and sweet but such a memory!! I honestly can't wait to do science fairs with Ash in the future!!
