"Containers"

In an effort to continue our contributions to Science, I recently agreed to provide Emma's stool sample to researchers conducting a study at ASU.  The study is examining differences between the mineral levels in the stools of typical developing children compared to children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder.  I explained to Emma that because she is such a good eater, the doctors want to study her poop.  Recently, we received several medical containers in the mail complete with rubber gloves, a cold pack for shipping and nacho chip container (like the ones you get at the ball game - you know red and white checkers).  The nacho holder will serve as the poop catcher as the sample can not be contaminated by water.   Apparently this is on Emma's mind.  We know this because tonight while talking about packing for our upcoming trip to visit Nana and Papa in Wyoming, she asked, "will I need to bring my containers with me?"


In case you are wondering... no she will not, we will be done by then.
