Natural History

Our life, in pictures, is pretty simple. There are A LOT of dinosaurs. Luke, our resident paleontologist, just sang this morning about how he was the "greatest carnivore in the Cretaceous forest." (A T-Rex)

The weather the last few days has been dreadful. It rained, then it froze and turned the roads into an ice rink. Today is a downpour of snow. Inside, imaginations in full swing, it's back to the dinosaurs, our tried and true preschool pastime.

This is our T-Rex family. From Luke: "T-Rex's are meat eaters. It hunts other dinosaurs. It eats carrion. A T-Rex has two fingers and three-toe feet."


Here are our dinosaur books for the week. We have a good collection of our own, but without fail Luke will find the non-fiction section of the library and sneak a stack of cumbersome fact books about some obscure dinosaur.


Needless to say, while I am fully supportive of his thirst for fossils, I'm ready for another passion. Planets? Gorillas? Lizards? Monster Trucks? Anything?

Here's to precocious minds...
