Half the Energy, Twice the Spunk

Well Tyler is busy making mom proud.

He announced today that there's one place in the whole world he wants to go. It's not Disney. It's not the Bahamas (that was last months wish - atta boy).

It's the Large Hadron Collider.

I have never been more proud of him.

Not only that but he launced into an explanation of the program - how they will smash protons into eachother so hard that they will explode (complete with visual effects, and facial expressions that are unmatched) and then collapse and make itty bitty little black holes where theres no light, and how he wishes he could put something shiny in the black holes so he could see what was inside it but that the black hole would suck the shiny thing in faster than its light could get out.

Again... proudest moment of my life...

We have discovered the BBC documentaries and they are surprisingly captivating for the boy... yesterday he watched a full hour of Chemistry: a Volatile History, and today he watched a documentary on black holes (obviously), and a show on dolphins.

BBC is our new best friend.


So yes. my 4 year old can give you a roughly accurate description of black holes.

And his dream is to visit the Large Hadron Collider in Swizerland.

My universe is complete.
