Signs of a Dinosaur OBSESSION



My little man loves Dinosaurs, this is how I know...

* Watches the same movie - Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaur over and over... multiple times a day if I'd let him. He asks so nice too... " Can I watch my friend Rudy on the Dinosaur movie"

* Knows the names of all the dinosaurs

* Growls like a dinosaur, and fights with his dad. He always asks permission to growl though, so that is nice.

* Prefers not to wear socks so you can see his "claws"- toenails. Then the other day refused to let me cut his fingernails because he prefers his claws sharp.

* He'll eat better if you tell him that T-Rex's love chicken, or that a certain meat is "Carrion" (spelling) -raw meat.

* Favorite T.V show- Dinosaur train, knows the species of dinosaur as well as their show name. Example- Buddy the T-Rex.

* Loves Drumheller and the Royal Tyrell Museum.


*Can find ANY dinosaur book available in the public library.

*Dinosaur Jammies, and sleeps with his dino figurines.

*Love anything that looks like it has a mouth- chip bag clips, tongs, bobby pins etc.

*Has dino puzzles that he can do all by himself. BJ bought him a 300 piece puzzle that he wants to try all the time. We've only made it once, and it took mom all afternoon.

* Dino magnets all over the fridge, a dinosaur lunchbox, dinosaur socks, dino underwear and a bunch of figurines.

* Was a dinosaur for halloween, and had a dinosaur themed birthday party. Next year he wants a Red T-Rex birthday party.



*Draws scary dinosaurs all the time with big sharp teeth.

We love him for his love of dinosaurs, I just wonder if this is a permanent phase, or if he'll move on this year. Maybe I have a future paleontologist in my house. However, yesterday at a doctors visit he wanted to try out some of the things in the doctors room, I told him he'd have to wait till he was a doctor to try them out... he seemed to think that was a good idea.

He is seriously too cute!! I love his love for his claws :)
It will be fun to see what interests our kids will have over the years.

that's awesome that he enjoys life so much. We have to restrain Greg from roaring during church.
