Tyler's love affair with dinosaurs has been going strong since he could first talk around 2 and a half. For his third birthday party, he chose the theme dinosaurs for his party at Gymboree. We geared all of the songs and activities to focus around dinosaurs (I clearly remember the Laurie Berkner song
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching) and we even bought a dinosaur shirt and matching socks (for him AND Kelsi!).
Fast forward from 2008 to the current day of February, 2010, and he still has an ongoing love affair with dinosaurs! He plays with them daily (creating battles & imaginary scenes that incorporate anything around him!), watches movies about them, checks out library books on them, and of course has moments where he acts like them! His love has grown into a thirst of knowledge for them....he knows names of dinosaurs that I haven't even heard of and can tell you if they are a herbivore, carnivore or omnivore, amongst other facts. He will correct you when you read the name incorrectly and he constantly refers to himself as a dinosaur expert. He is dying to go to a dinosaur museum and see a real dinosaur skeleton...and we will...someday!
