Brad and Rebekah will be so proud.
I am happy to introduce you, dear readers, to Sydney and Abigail, the T-Rex twins.
Jack received $5 in a Valentine's Card from Buddy and DeeDee which he shockingly wanted to take to Target and buy some dinosaurs. He actually left home with the plan of buying a Schleich Apatosaurus, but chose instead to buy a bucket of 9 dinos for about the same amount. (He informed me when he got home that his Daddy said he was a Smart Shopper.)
These two little darlings were a part of that set and Jack promptly named them "Sydney and Abigail because they are twins. They are the same!". (For those who don't know, Sydney and Abigail are the lovely twin daugters of our sweet friends, Brad and Rebekah. We've known B & R since college. Jack knows their girls from pre-school and church. We actually had dinner at their house a few weeks ago and I was amazed that Jack could instantly tell the girls apart - because I can't.) Here you see him identifying Sydney for me, because I can't tell the dinosaur twins apart either!
Jack then decided that Sydney and Abigail needed a Mommy and a Daddy, so we found two more T-Rexes and made a family. (Brad, you will notice that you are extremely, almost freakishly tall. I suppose play is imitating life!)
After this, I told Jack that I bet we could make lots more dinosaur families, which would then make up a herd. I explained that a herd is lots of families making up a bigger family - sort of like church. He ran to his room and brought in several more dinosaurs in lots of sizes. First, he lined up three Stegosauruses. Can you guess who they are? Yep! Mommy, Daddy and Jack. Aren't we cute?
Next came the four Triceratops. I asked Jack who he knew that had a Mommy, Daddy and a little brother. He thought for a minute and then exclaimed, "Jake!". So now, we have Phillip, Jenni, Jake and Evan - the Triceratops family.
I heard some interesting things as the day went on. "Abigail, don't hit your sister!". "Evan, Mommy said no. Do you understand me?"."Come on guys, it's time for a snack!". "Jake, do you eat meat or plants?". Hysterical.
Tomorrow Jack wants to make more families. Something tells me that as blessed as we are in the "herd" department, we may have to buy more dinosaurs!

Oh my! Sydney and Abigail. Hysterical!!! Yes, the freakishly tall dino did remind me of Brad. Ha ha ha. What a fantastic imagination!
That's so awesome! What an imagination! Your blog has helped inspire me for Jonathan's birthday party. He chose a dinosaur theme this year! And he's turning 7 on Saturday... can you believe it!?!?
PRECIOUS!!! Love him! And I love the way the families even look alike--he's so smart!!
He's pretty right on about me talking to Evan & telling him no & about asking Jake what he eats!
I forgot to comment on your last post but Phillip took some amazing photos--he could give you a run for your money!!! (Or you trained him well!!!)
Love you guys!
What an imagination your sweet boy has! We had so much fun with you all and are honored to have a dinosaur family named after us!
please please please do not show this stuff to my sons. i don't think we have room to take on a dinosaur interest on top of the cars and trains and pirates we have already. however i wish we had an activity that would hold S's and A's attention as long as Jack enjoys his dinosaurs.
Christian really liked the dino pictures, but was really groovin' to the song...it cracked me up!!
that's hilarious. what a cute kid.
