Blood type

Leo's current fave book is The Human Body. It's a nice biology text that has great pictures and explains all kinds of neat 8th grade biology. Needless to say, I'm learning a LOT! But I figure he probably is glossing over the discussion of fibroblasts, golgi complexes, and amino acids. Last night, I explained to Leo that he and Paul have type A blood and I have type O blood. He replied, "if I have no more blood then you can give me your blood, or Daddy can give me his blood". I was thunderstruck by how much he was comprehending. I'm starting to wonder how much experimentation we can do on this child by introducing him to a wide range of ideas and concepts.
