YouTube is a fascinating place. Especially if you are three years old. Really especially if you are very curious three year old with a Daddy who likes to "look things up."
In the past week Colin has been really hooked on a couple of new videos. He has a couple of ones he likes that are bacteria multiplying and one really cool one of a white blood cell hunting down a germ. We've watched those a few (hundred) times. We've been really into germs and bacteria and how your body fights being sick this winter whenever we come down with something. At least it keeps up busy while we're stuck at home sick.
For your viewing pleasure:
The other video that is a complete and total HIT is this one:
That creature is a predatory tunicate. An ocean floor dwelling member of the chordata phylum. We picked up a library book last week about ocean babies and it had a tunicate in it. And we needed more information according to Colin. Off to YouTube we went. I shared this on face.book too and it turns out that other little boys like it too (when given the option to see it!).
The pursuit of knowledge is wonderful. Thank you internet.

Ah yes. Tunicates, AKA the booby trap fish. But I love that we have smart, curious kids! And I also love when they walk up and ask me to "Google" something...
