Science Fun in Chapel Hill
Today we were invited to go to Chapel Hill so that Kendall could participate in a study being done by the UNC Psychology department. This was a follow-up to last year’s visit, which Kendall enjoyed–and who wouldn’t enjoy getting piles of stickers for playing games with the researchers? 🙂 So we made the trek out this morning, and Kendall played her games while I filled out huge surveys, and she earned an entire baggie full of stickers, and even a special purple fairy rubber...

He liked the fish tank! Nana Rosemary gave the kids some Hello Kitty candy in cute red tins that look like Chinese takeout boxes. Kendall sorted out the colors with her candy. Brian borrowed a...
