I used to think that gravity wasn't that strong of a force; I mean you have the entire Earth pulling on a little tiny paper clip and then a little magnet comes along and the world loses, but now I am being set straight. Don't get me wrong I haven't discovered that 9.8 has increased but gravity has a very strong hold of a certain member of my household; you could even go so far to say that gravity has a force over him. This little sciencetist has an inexplicable need to test gravity at all times whether he uses external instruments or he uses himself as the tool. So far, as far as I know, gravity has worked every time. Which includes (these are just the items tested today): the cheerieos, the measuring cups, the rubber ducky, puke, water, the beetle out of the mouth, head first off the bed, the camera, the hymnal, blocks, diapers, socks neatly folded in the drawer, the measuring tape that was just rolled up, sippy cup, spaghetti noodles, etc.

Objects waiting to be tested, he likes to perform these experiments best while he is in his high chair but he deals with what his supervisors will allow.
I will keep you updated as further experiments are conducted.

umm...second?
and i love you!
Hey I just read that thing about a magnet beating the earth in a force competition. I don't think I heard it from you though?
Gravity my be weak, but it is as persistance as heck.
There are so many things to be tested! You should probably get used to it!
