Lynn Brunelle shares her field trip through pregnancy and  parenting, sprinkled with a sparkle of science, in this hilarious and  awe-inspiring memoir. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      With great  enthusiasm, Lynn shows how she shares her inner geek--the part of her  that is gleefully curious and wide-eyed with wonderment--with her  children. For Lynn, science is the stardust that makes common things  glow. Why not pass that magic along to the kids? When Lynn brought her  passion for science into her parenting, it began to make all the  difference to her and her kids. Her heart lifts when her boys are  elbow-deep in mud searching for crystals and when she catches them  debating whether a chicken is related to a dinosaur. Science isn't just  for geeks. It's the future. If you're a parent or planning to become  one, it's your future.Introduction: Most Persistent Camper\u003cbr\u003eBIOLOGY\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Making Sense of Santa\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Your Chlorophyll Is Showing--It's Not Easy Being Green\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Wait a Minute, I'm Eating What?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Lizard Brain--Sibling Stuff\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: How Was School Today?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Mother of the Year\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: I'll Show You Mine\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Baby Talk\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Lice Mama\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: On the Brink\u003cbr\u003eCHEMISTRY\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: I Want to Hold Your Hand\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: A Knight in Shining Cardboard\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Memory Architect\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: ADHD\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Pennies in the Lemons\u003cbr\u003ePHYSICS AND EARTH SCIENCE\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: I Hate to Tell You, but You're a Little Bit Fat\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: Moments of Magnetism\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: What if You Screw Up?\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: Newton at the Plate\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: OK, Play with the Fire\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: Nose Flute and Armpit Fart\u003cbr\u003eChapter 23: Sucking the Bounce\u003cbr\u003eChapter 24: The Spark Inside Refraction and Reflection\u003cbr\u003eEpilogue\"The book takes readers on an exuberant journey that combines maternal highs and lows with the joys of being a born science “nerd.” Brunelle recreates the magic of everyday family life with a scientist’s keen eye for detail and a parent’s faultless ear for mother-son dialogue.\"—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Lynn loves being a mom, and she loves science.
