After a week with my 3 year old grandson, I now know more about dinosaurs than I did before. I learned about Brontosaurus, Pterydactyls, Tryceratops and T. Rex. The latter two are his favourites. He even knew they lived at the same time and fought each other. His two stuffies of them fought incessantly, mostly on my lap. I had to Google them to learn they lived at the same time and according to archaelology actually did fight each other.
What is with toddlers, both boys and girls, that they are fascinated with dinosaurs as soon as they are old enough to go "ROAAAR"? I cannot remember what my kids were obsessd with at that age. My Little Pony? Cabbage Patch dolls? Someone help me. Late 70s, early 80s. What were toddlers into?
Anyway, I found the perfect Christmas gift for him. Send a picture of the child and they stick it riding on either a T. rex or a Triceratops. I will ask him what his favourite is.

He'll LOVE that custom photo blanket! I don't know why little kids adore dinosaurs either. It's an obsession that wasn't around when I was that age. Quite frankly, it mystifies me.
ReplyDeleteOh, and P.S. -- Watched the Grey Cup and was thrilled about the Roughriders' victory! Rider Nation deserves it too, the most loyal fanbase in Canada!
DeleteThe daycare staff were telling his dad that they have a bucket full of dinosaurs. They would pull one out and ask him what it was. He knew them all and was not ever wrong. His dad was like that with baseball - knew players and stats at a young ag, though older than His son
DeleteThe Grey cup win was nice, the booing of Carney by Saskatchewan was not.
DeleteYes, that surprised me.
DeleteMy son also had a thing about dinosaur at that age. A big roar to you.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be endemic in todlers at that age. And a good Roar to you too.
DeleteThe perfect gift! I'm sure that even if/when he outgrows his blankie, it will still be treasured by his parents. :-)
ReplyDeleteI expect he will drag it around like Linus until it is threadbare.
