Hudson's Love of Dinosaurs

September 2012

Hudson,

Dinosaurs are your army men. Daddy says that. You can play with them by yourself for hours. Your passion for dinosaurs has now lasted half of your life time and it's important for you to know how into them you have been for over two years now. It's crazy. You can emulate a T Rex better than any human being on the planet. Daddy and I were saying that we actually have never seen any child or anyone emulate one like you. Other people have said this to us as well. You often go into T Rex roaring when you are embarrassed, shy or angry. It can be annoying and I tell you that it's fun to be a dinosaur sometimes, but not all of the time! Some times you will meet someone new and roar and go into T Rex mode. Daddy and are like "Here comes the dinosaur." Then, the person will be like, "Wow, that's actually a really good impression. He actually looks like a T Rex." It's all a little mad, but you are our little T REX!!

When you play with them, you line them up in different ways- sometimes in a perfect circle, sometimes in a line, sometimes you line the meat eaters and the plant eaters up separately. Sometimes you line up all your T Rex's, which you have like 30 of them, against all the dinosaurs. You will thwack them across the room with the T Rex's tail. I helped you build a dinosaur fort with Lincoln logs one day. It was fun.

This passion you have for dinosaurs is kind of amazing and it will almost be sad when it ends, and heck, maybe it won't. You know so many dinosaur names, it's crazy. You will say, "It's a Carnotaurus Mamma- see the horns," or you have called out some books that illustrate the T Rex with three claws. You say, "But it's not a T Rex. It's got three claws and T Rex has two." You remember like everything I have ever read to you. It's crazy! I could go on and on. I'll end with something you said recently. I asked, "Hudson, why do you like dinosaurs so much?" you responded, "Because they are fascinating.". Yes they are. Great answer.

Unbelievable you are. Did I tell you how articulate you are as well? You never cease to amaze me.

I love you my little T Rex,
Mamma
