Over breakfast.
WV: (sees a drawing of a ladybug on his animal plate and tries to pick it up)
Daddy can pick up ladybug?
Mommy: No, we can't pick that one up it's just a picture. Maybe we'll see one outside.
WV: We might see a lizard outside.
Mommy: That's right, we might see a lizard.
WV: We might see dinosaur outside.
Mommy: We probably won't see a dinosaur. Dinosaurs don't live anymore, we only know them from pictures.
WV: We have lots of dinosaurs in our backyard.
Mommy: We do?!
WV: Smiles and nods
Not unrelated, and I do not take credit for teaching this, but Weston recently observed that dinosaurs and lizards and alligators are similar animals. That a child's brain can make that association is truly astounding.
