Pretty Cool

So I read an article today about a Scientist in India. Dr. Babu had mixed the sugar drops with edible colors red, green, blue and yellow and placed them in his garden to attract the ants. The ant's abdomen is semi-transparent, the ants take in  the color as they sip the liquid.

A Mind of a Future Scientist

   Take in mind when you have a child you have taken the role of a protector, teacher, mother and or father. Well with my son I've been teaching him. It amazes me on how fast he learns and can recall what he has learned. In the past month my son has learned the names of different names of dinosaurs. At first I wasn't sure if i should teach him the names.  I did not wanted to over whelm him. I said to my self  how is he going to learn this if he can't even remember the colors. I then came up with this plan. Different color dinosaurs. Well needless to say he some what has the colors down. 
    My son spent the weekend with my mother's . Over the stay she had gotten him some more dinosaurs. He comes up to me to show me the dinosaurs. I then called my mother over and I told her to watch and see if he can remember the names of the dinosaurs. Well low and be hold he started with the triceratops. I was so proud my mom was like he has been saying the same name since she had  gotten him the toy. I told her that was the name of the dinosaur. Well my mother thought he was making up some type of words. I also pulled out another dinosaur and he named it. At this point it made me feel so good that he remember what I had went over with him.
   He amazes me  everyday. There are just so many thing I want to teach him. He got to see his first galaxy on Friday at the planetarium. He had so much fun We watch the cosmic show. While the show was going on he asked so many question. I explained what an Asteroids was. And he asked me what the dots were I told him they were stars. He looked at me and said those are stars.
       Well I can not say he will be a scientist in the future. I can say he will have the tools and knowledge to become something great.
