Studying an exhibit
Jake with a Triceratops family...complete with babies hatching out of eggs!We took Jake to the Natural Science Museum on Saturday morning. They are always running some sort of special exhibit. The feature now through January is dinosaurs. Anyone who knows Jake has probably heard him go on and on about every kind of dinosaur there ever was. He even knows the scientific names of many of them and can pronounce them better than I can. He loves the museum anyway but the dinosaurs were just an added bonus. They are life sized dinosaurs that move and make noise. Jake was expecting dinosaur bones...which are fascinating to him too...but got a big (scary) surprise when he walked into the exhibit room and saw the T-Rex! We had a great time exploring and talking about all of the animals at the museum. Of course, we had to stop by the gift shop on the way out....UGH....I wish they would hide museum gift shops so that we parents aren't forced to try and explain to our children why we don't want to pay $15 for a toy we could get at Wal-Mart for $5. We made it through with a $3 purchase of dinosaur "goo".

Thank you for your comment on my blog! I am glad to hear your four year old still stays put in his toddler bed...that gives me hope, LOL.
Jake is adorable! What a smarty to know so much about dinosaurs at such an early age. Maybe a future paleontologist? ;)
(I keep thinking Ross from Friends, haha.)
