Dinosaurs Alive!

Lately, I have been really worried about how life for Clayton is going to change when we have Drew. I know that he is going to LOVE having a brother, but I worry about being able to divide our time between the two boys. I am afraid that we won't be able to do some of the fun things that we enjoy doing with our "only" right now. So... we are going to try to cram a bunch of activities into the next five weeks. There will probably be a whole lot of bloggin' goin' on around here. :)

Yesterday we took Clayton to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and to the Omni Theater. It was so fun! Clayton really enjoyed the Dinosaur Roundup Exhibit and Kidspace activities. He also loved the Omni movie called Dinosaurs Alive. They had all of these realistic animations of dinosaurs and how they lived. At the end, we asked Clayton what his favorite part of the movie was. He immediately said, "When the dinosaur pooped!" Of course.... There was a very short clip about how the paleontologists can learn a lot from examining dinosaur dung. Out of it all, that is what our kid picked up on!

It was a fun afternoon with just the three of us! I can't wait until Drew is old enough for us to take both boys to do these fun activities! (On second thought, I know how fast these first few years of Clayton's life have flown by. I am going to treasure every minute of Drew being tiny! Big boy activities will always be there...)

They had this really neat table that blew air out of these tubes below the table. They had cups that you could cut and when you let go of the cup, the cup would fly into the air. Clayton thought that it was amazing. We spent forever at that little table.
