Thing 1 is an award-winning scientist!

Well, she did it. Thing 1 won 1st place in the science fair last night for the first grade. Her daddy and I couldn't be more proud. We are the proud parents of an award-winning 1st grade scientist.

She got a blue ribbon for placing 1st, AND a spiffy trophy that declares her as the best scientist in the first grade. You should have seen her smile.

Thing 1's project was about density. She wanted to see if an egg would float or sink in water, salt water, cooking oil, and karo syrup. She was very interested in why things float (or not), so she and her daddy cooked up this project.

She is also quite pleased with herself, and apparently enjoyed the experience enough to want to participate again next year (so far, anyway).

So now it's on to the regional science fair where she'll compete against other winners from the area. However that turns out, she's a winner in our book.
