Dinosaurs!!

Daddy came home for the weekend and you were so happy to have him here. 
On Saturday we went to Home Depot to get a few things for the house. 
Here are a few pictures:

Mommy had to chuckle looking at you boys on the lawn mower/tractors.  As soon as you saw those on display, you wouldn't sit still until we let you sit on it.  I guess boys will be boys. It warms my heart though to see you so excited about things. Your daddy was so proud you liked the tractors so much. :)

We spent our time at home, just you, mommy and daddy. It was really nice.  
Daddy left back for work early Monday morning, while you and momma were still asleep. We miss him so much already and we are happy he's going to be back tomorrow night. 

We've kept busy though. 

Our home is officially listed on the market. You've been so good and patient with mommy going around and picking up after us and cleaning the house every 5 min. We had a showing on Saturday, one Tuesday, one today, and two scheduled for tomorrow.  We are keeping our fingers crossed the house sells soon because are ready to be in GA with daddy full time. 

Monday grandma came over and watched you for a couple of hours while mommy went to the doctor to check on little John. He's all good. Only 19 more days till he's here with us!!  On Tuesday, we went to toddler time and you got to play with Peyton again and the other kids.  And today we had dinner at Michael and Kiki's house. 

Overall, it's been a good week so far. 
Kiki spoils you so much. You got more dinosaur clothes and pjs and another dinosaur book. 

And that's what mommy wanted to write to you about today: your fascination with dinosaurs!! 

We are not sure exactly when it started. But I think around 18 months you really developed a liking for dinosaurs. By the time you turned 2 we could say dinosaurs were your favorite.  You like plenty of other things and I would say trains is your next favorite. But dinosaurs... well, they are always on top of the list. We even had a dinosaur themed 2 yr old birthday party for you (that will be another post).  Your wardrobe now consists of mostly dinosaur shirts. Kiki has generously contributed to the majority of it. 

You LOVE your dinosaur books, puzzles, clothes, and toys. You can correctly identify the T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Spinosaurus, Triceratops, Troodon, Bracheasaurus, and the Parasaurolophus.  I think that's it for now. But each day you remember more and more about them. You love watching the "Land Before Time" on mommy's phone and you've begun to call the T-Rex "Sharp Tooth" as they do in the movie.  On Tuesday at toddler time you were telling Devyn all about how dinosaurs "eat grass and eat meat". :) You are so smart!

The cutest thing in the world though was that just up until about a month or so ago you couldn't correctly pronounce dinosaur. Instead, you'd say "dinoHAUR". Well, that last part of the word sounds like something else entirely and that was the part you'd emphasize the most when saying it. Too cute. A horse is still a "HOR" though... 

Here are a few pictures of your dinosaur themed life at the moment: 

Your bike helmet has dinosaurs on it. 

Here's a close up: Triceratops on a motorcycle.
 There's also a green T-Rex on a bike.

Reading about dinosaurs to Mickey Mouse.

Mommy and daddy never imagined they would know so much about dinosaurs. That's the wonderful thing though, isn't it? We are learning about something new together! 

We are not sure how long your dinosaur liking will last so we are enjoying every bit of it with you for now.  And if next week, next month or next year you decide you like trains the best, we will learn all about trains then with you too.  

We love you so much!!
