Thanks to the Grandparents?

Around his birthday, Aid picked out this big encyclopedia type book about dinosaurs from the used book shop. It is really too much to read, but has the names pointed out. This really didn't mean too much to him at the time. He just liked looking at all the dinosaurs.

Yesterday, we went to Toys R Us to use what was left of a birthday gift certificate from Bob's parents. He picked out a bin of dinosaurs complete with rocks and trees and a plastic play mat. He was super excited to line up everything on his mat and play.

Upon returning from this venture we pulled up to see a Grandma Box! Inside? A dinosaur movie!

Needless to say Aid is in heaven. He now makes us find the named dinosaur in his book so that he can match it to his dinosaur figure. All this while the dinosaur movie is playing. I came down this morning to Aid yelling at the tv, "You are a triceratops!"

Blessing? Curse? You be the judge.
