A Look Back - The Huge T Rex

November 22, 2011

Hudson, you are 3.5 years old here.  We went to the Heard Museum in McKinney, Texas to see the dinosaur exhibit.  You loved this gigantic T Rex, of course!  You looked at him and examined him for some time.  Hudson, I am writing this blog entry on July 10, 2012, you are 4 years and 3 months now.  You should know something.  You started loving dinosaurs when you were 2 and you still LOVE them.  It's actually very cool.  You know the names and whether they are herbivores or carnivores, and Hudson, you knew the names a long time ago!!  It's amazing.  "No Mommy, that it is not a T Rex, it is an Allosaurus.  A T Rex has two claws."  You told me there when you were barley 3.  T Rex has always been your favorite, although, you do realize that he is a meat eater and ate the other dinosaurs and so you get that T Rex was mean - that's when you told me that you think you want to hang with the plant eaters now!  Many kids go in and out of phases, but dinosaurs have stuck with you.   You wanted to be a Paleontologist for the last two years.  I think your passion for them is way cool and you are VERY passionate about them!  You have like 50 dinosaurs and I am not kidding.  If you grow out of this phase (which will be sad),  your baby brother can play with all your dino and you can teach him all about them.  That's the only toy you picked out for the last two years.  We could have a dinosaur toy shop.  You can sit and play with them for a long time.  You set up battles and they attack one another.  It's usually T Rex against all the plant eaters.  I love you my little T Rex!  ROAR!!!  xoxo Mamma

I think I want to be with the Herbivores

January 15, 2012

Hudson,

You never cease to amaze me. So, we were driving in the road and we were talking about dinosaurs, and you say to me, "Mamma, I think want to be with the herbivores, the ones that eat plants and that are nice. Like the brachiosaurus" Are you some kind of a genius? It's like talking to an adult, not a 3 year old. You have been obsessed with T Rex for so long and I think you are realizing that since T Rex is a meat eating carnivore, he's not so nice. Man, you are smart!

I love you my little dinosaur, Mamma
