Just your average, ordinary five year old

Yesterday as we got in the car, I noticed something on Amy's face which turned out to be a mosquito. (Have I mentioned she's a mosquito magnet? It's crazy.) I wondered aloud if mosquitoes can bite more than once, or if they die after they bite, like bees die after a sting. Reed happened to have a mini animal encyclopedia in the car with him, and a couple of minutes later he said "I found it" and started reading facts about mosquitoes. All on his own, he'd found the insect section of the book, found the pages about mosquitoes, and tried to find out the answer to my question (the book didn't have the answer, by the way). Yep, he's just your average, ordinary five year old headed off to kindergarten.
