You can't take the scientist out of the Mom

Davis and I had a nice walk yesterday to Davis square (can you believe they've already named a square after him?), where we met our mom's group friends Alicia and Rainn for lunch before we headed to the farmer's market. It was a great way to spend the day. We picked up some heirloom tomato plants for Daddy's garden and a bunch of swiss chard. Our farm share starts next week and we can't wait! The thing that struck me yesterday during lunch with Alicia was she said "You must be a scientist". I thought it was interesting in how little she knows about me that she would pick up on that from a simple conversation about pacifiers. Yes, I told her how we managed to find a pacifier that would work (some of the time) for Davis. It started with observations, followed by hypothesis and then experimentation. Lesson, you can put the mom into a scientist but you can't take the scientist out of the mom.
