Jacob's class had an end of the year party and got to vote on what kind of party they wanted to have. The overwhelming vote was a costume party. We asked Jacob what he wanted to dress up as and suggested the basics (an astronaut, policeman, firefighter..) "No," he said, "I want to be a scientist." So a scientist he was.
Dada pilfered a lab coat and goggles from the lab, along with a little spinning magnet thingie (scientific terms.. ;) that he made out of one of Jacob's spinning sucker holders. We also made petri dishes from a science kit we had at home.. Jacob left one at home and took one to school, which turned out to be tons of (disgusting!) fun for all his friends.
I hemmed the bottom and sleeves of Jacob's new lab coat, and he made a name tag for himself that said "Jacob the scientist."
When asked "who had the coolest costume?" Jacob said, "I did! I was a scientist!" I'm glad he loved it so much. :)

On with the safety glasses and spinning magnet thingie. ;)
He was so excited to go to school!
... and a little silly. :)
Brothers, heading to school for the day!
