(Side note: "albuterol" auto-corrects to "butterball". James would probably love it if he could literally inhale turkey)
In other news, while at the Antarctic Ice workshop I attended in New Hampshire this summer, we filled out postcards that one of the scientists then took on an expedition to Antarctica and dropped in the mail. It was so cool to get the post card in the mail today. The kids were GOBSMACKED.
James noticed immediately how COLD the paper was (because it had been outside in the 40 degree mailbox). And Wes breathlessly asked me several questions about penguins before I stopped him and tried to explain. NO, he said, DO PENGUINS REALLY WALK UPRIGHT OR ARE THEY MORE LEANED OVER? James asked me earnestly if I got to see where Santa lives. I responded, you're thinking of the North Pole, this is from the South Pole, and he said OHH. You went to the South Pole.
Charley just stared at it. Then looked at me. Then looked back at the post card.



I say let 'em wonder.

Mary fell down the stairs? Oh no, I hope there was no ER visit involved...
So COOL!
You didn't go, your postacrd went there. But one day maybe you will go, and maybe independently Charley will go!
I ran out of energy very early re enthusing my kids to do science. So glad to see you're succeeding!!!
