V is for volcano

Jackson has been obsessed with volcanoes lately, constantly asking us to "talk about volcanoes" and asking questions about what they are, where they are, how they work. We've resorted to you tube videos when our own knowledge runs out (which happens pretty quickly with this subject). He pretends everything is a volcano and runs around the house "rescuing" us and asking to be rescued from the "hot, hot volcano." Pretty adorable (see him in his "volcano boots and cape" below which apparently protects you from the volcanoes). So, last weekend we made some volcanoes of our own by mixing vinegar (which we colored with food coloring) and baking soda which we had in muffin tins so it looked like a bunch of mini exploding volcanoes. The kid was in heaven.
