On one rainy weekend day, I set up an invitation for experimenting with baking powder, vinegar, and food coloring. I knew a mess was about to be made in the kitchen. So I was prepared with lots of towels and a relaxed mental attitude. First, I showed Logan what happens when you put a scoop of vinegar and a scoop of baking soda into an empty cup. He was hooked at one try, and ready to experiment on his own. I thought he would follow suit and pour scoops of each ingredient into the middle cup. But in normal Logan fashion, he did it his own way**. Taking handfuls of baking soda and dropping them into the vinegar. Next was adding color. I put a couple of scoops of baking soda and a few drops of food coloring into a cup, and gave him a squirt bottle of vinegar. Logan was loving every minute of this enormous mess. After about an hour and a gallon of vinegar, Logan was satisfied with his experimenting and size of the mess. He helped clean up the cups and left the heavy duty work to me.

 |
| Intrigued by the chemical reaction. |
 |
| "This is going to be a messy day, I'm going to love it!" |
 |
| Getting serious in his experimentation. |
 |
| "Hmm, I wonder with this does?" |
 |
| "Oh yeah, we're is messy mode now!" |
 |
| I love Logan's smile on this one. |
 |
| Focused |
 |
| Adding everything together. |
**I wonder why I always think Logan will do things the way they are supposed to be done. Logan is like Sinatra, and does it his own way.
