Lately Parker has been OBSESSED with Dinosaurs!! It started sometime over the summer, when he saw Ice Age: Return of the Dinosaurs. Then Nana & Mimi provided some Land Before Time DVDs & dinosaur toys....sprinkle in a few books & episodes of Dinosaur Train and Voila! You have a crazy almost 3 year old, who pretends to be T-Rex about 60% of the time.
One day I stumbled upon a "Grow your own Dinosaur" kit. It was a huge hit with Parker! You drop the egg in a container of water and let it sit for 3-4 days. Your baby dinosaur grows & hatches slowly out of the egg. I was very impressed with his paitience. We checked on baby-saurus several times a day & Parker wanted me to take pictures of his new "baby."

Ta-da! A new baby something-saurus!
I'm wondering how long this obsession will last... While I enjoy his impersonations, which are surprisingly accurate, I worry that the roaring, stomping & mayheim will be disturbing to his baby brother. We have purchased a powerful sound machine for baby to drown out Parker's antics and Bambino's coming home outfit now has dinosaurs on it. Fingers crossed the baby has heard enough inutero roaring that he'll be unfazed.
