Dinosaurs

Last night's story was about days of the week with "Blue" and there was dinosaur stickers on the days of the week and a trip on the last day to the dinosaur museum. You asked about why the dinosaur just had bones so I tried to explain it. There was a meteor and it got too cold and there was stuff in blocking the sun.

Today after preschool, Mackenzie's Mom told me you told her and Penny about the dinosaurs and how the meteor made them extinct. They were impressed. Then Penny got a bin with dinosaurs and she said you then lost interest. However, this evening you came out of your room with a stuffed stegosaurus that I had forgotten you had. You saw it at the tip-top of your closet and got out your ladder and maneuvered it down.

You are cute as a button, even when you have a cold.

Cousins

We visited with the cousins over New Years. Sadly, you are not that interested in playing with Kiera, who is 3 months younger than you. You loved to play with Julie, who is 4 years older than you, and some with Ryan who is 2 years older than you. You did play a little bit with Kiera when the rest of us were playing a card game, playing house with you as Mother as her as the girl.

You did a great job riding your bike around the lake for 2.5 miles. The last mile you needed a lot of help from Dad and you cried a fair amount, but you still tried to catch up to Ryan. Both Aunt Jennie and Uncle Dave were very impressed that you could ride your bike without training wheels.

Christmas was fun, and you liked the toys. I like the games because they're fun to play with you.

Tonight you told me "Mama Modesta is not my favorite Mama. Mama Maria is my favorite Mama". I asked why and you said something about Mama Maria liking you better. I told you that Mama Modesta would adore you if she knew you better. You then asked if Mama Maria and Mama Modesta live together and are friends. I was trying to think of how to explain it to you. I said "No, but isn't it great they could work together for you?" You thought that sounded good.
