Jackson is no longer (only) obsessed with big trucks. Ever since Easter, when the Easter bunny left dinosaurs in his basket(s) at Grandma Chris's and Grandpa Bob's house, Jackson has decided to expand his interests a bit. Jason and I are quickly learning that our son tends to have some obsessive behaviors when it comes to something he likes. When Jackson was "into" big trucks, he learned as much as he could (names of trucks and jobs they do) about each truck he saw (in books, videos, and real-life). Big trucks consumed his thoughts, playtime, and apparently his dreams (according to Jackson he'd dream about bulldozers and excavators almost every night:)). We are seeing much of the same patterns with dinosaurs now. He's learned many names of dinosaurs; and, he can tell you which ones are "nice" (plant-eaters), and which are "naughty" (meat-eaters). Despite the fact that T-rex is a "naughty" dinosaur, it remains to be his favorite -with Triceratops coming in a close second.
His collection includes several dinosaur figurine toys, dinosaur books, dinosaur videos, and rumor has it that a dinosaur t-shirt may be in the works (he's supposed to be getting that tonight from Grandma Barb and Grandpa Terry).
Here Jackson has built a home out of Legos for his dinosaurs...
Although Jackson wasn't very happy with me, I convinced him to let his sister hold onto one of his precious dinosaurs for this picture. He picked out one that he doesn't play with much and gave that one to Jessica...
