Dino-mite!

A couple weekends ago we headed down to visit my parents and took a trip to the Peabody Museum. I have fond memories of going to the Peabody, and was excited for Elijah to experience it for the first time. in the past month he has started getting interested in dinosaurs. We have a few books about dinosaurs and he keeps wanting to learn more about this. Triceratops and T-Rex are now a daily part of his vocabulary.
Needless to say, the trip to the museum was a huge success. Elijah got his fill of dinosaurs and I got to brush up on my own dino info since my child loves to ask questions. Did you know that we're no longer calling the big, tall veggie eater Brontosaurus? Yup, they now go by Apatosaurus. I can only imagine the vast amount of dinosaur facts I will have stored in my mind before the year is up...
