he makes super cool science kits! http://www.kitsforkids.com/

i babysat connor when i was in college and he was a baby. i met him just before his first birthday. he was my VERY special buddy!!! his parents are amazing. they introduced me to cloth diapers! i used their cloth for connor and now i use cloth for my kids. he was even the ring bearer in my wedding when he was 5!! and i have photos of him holding schuyler when schuyler was only a few days old.

wow. so cool!!!!!

i haven't seen him since before dylan was born. but i am sure i will be inspired to call him up now!!!! he has always been super smart. (maybe due to the influence of his babysitters! ;) )

if you have an older child, these kits really do look great!!! check them out!!!

Wow, that is so cool! I've done lots of these with my students as fun demos or mini experiments and it is so cool that a kid has decided to open a business for doing these things for other kids! And I'm sure it's all because he was inspired by his very creative and smart babysitters. :)

I can't wait for Kaya to be old enough so I can do these experiments with her. Maybe a couple more years... ;)

Liza,

I forwarded this on to our science teacher and she's so on top of things that she already knew about this site and had ordered some stuff! If I can get her to write a review, I'll post it here.
