Dino Obsession

I feel as though Quinn has an unusually strong obsession with dinosaurs (and other prehistoric creatures).  On Friday we went to the library and he picked out 10 dinosaur/sabertooth/mammoth reference books.  Every morning (and any time we have down time at the house) he dives into the books and obsessively compares the anatomy of the various dinos.  He will find the same dinosaur in various books and compare how the different authors portrayed the dinosaur differently.  He is very critical of cartoon dinosaurs that have anatomical errors, such as the wrong number of fingers, arms that are too big, or spikes where spikes do not belong.  I think we may have a little scientist on our hands!  :)  

Morning dino reading

Below we have a couple of videos.  The first is Quinn checking out a new dinosaur book this morning. Before I started filming each page turn was greeted with a loud gasp.  Several hours later and he's still flipping through the book.

Last weekend we visited Don and Janet at their beach house in Mission Beach.  As we were getting ready to leave Quinn decided he was a Smilodon (sabertooth cat) and had a growl-off with Don.  Pretty amusing stuff.  Glad Don was such a good sport.  Mom and Dad tend not to be!  :)
