Lately the Boo has been into playing with dinosaurs. He didn’t used to like it when I tried to make critters with playdough, but now apparently it’s an acceptable pasttime. So make dinosaurs we did!

He requests his dinosaurs by the names used in the Land Before Time series. There are Longnecks, Three Horns, and occasionally a Sharp Teeth.  He’s particularly a fan of the itsy bitsy baby three horns. We make food for them out of playdough as well, and they eat, play chase, and also ride skateboards. Don’t ask.

Dinosaurs are surprisingly hard to make out of playdough. It’s too pliable and at the same time dries out too fast. The necks break and the feet get squished. We need to explore the world of modelling clay next, I believe.

We went to a three year old’s birthday party recently that took place at a bouncy castle gym!! Much fun was had, especially by the boys:

Daddy was SO MUCH FUN! It took the lure of cake to get him to leave. We’re looking forward to more opportunities for the boys to go play.
