Proof.

This is certainly not proof that dinosaurs really existed or that the T-Rex was as ferocious (or as wimpy, depending on what reports you read) as the scientists say; however, it is definitive proof that my son knows more about dinosaurs than the average human being under the age of 10.

I hope you'll take a look at this video. Again captured by my phone, so not the highest quality, but well worth the watch.

To set the stage: I was handing Jack dinosaurs and asking him to identify each one. Honestly, these are the easy ones, not even the tip of the iceberg in regards to his knowledge - We were visiting Mimi and Poppa and didn't have ones like the Styrachosaurus and the Coelophysis with us. The dinosaur I ask him about at the end is the Frilled Dilophosaurus - like the one you see in Jurassic Park. I didn't have one to actually show him, so I was trying to describe it quickly so that I could keep the video short. (I can only email short ones to my computer...) Enjoy!!

Mary Alice...you do know that the next restaurant at Downtown Disney will be called T-Rex? 15 or so audio-animatronic dinosaurs built to scale and themed to look like it did "when dinosaurs ruled the earth". Hmmm..wonder if Jack would like that?
