Out of all the themes for children's rooms -- safari, sports, boats, butterflies, princesses, I think science is overlooked. Whenever Andre gets fussy I like to take him into the bathroom where he giggles and smiles at the Periodic Table of Elements on the shower curtain. Once he has a proper room, I plan to hang one on the wall. After all, it fits in with everything kids like -- bright colors and big letters.

Yesterday I found this music video about the Periodic Table. Elephants are made of elements!


This one sounds just like "I Am The Very Model Of a Model Major General" from The Pirates of Penzance. And with that last reference, I have officially reached my dork quota for the day.
