DINOSAURS!

[AnaKhouri]

Khan's current interests, in order of most beloved:

trains
dinosaurs
trucks
construction equipment
cars elephants

The thing about having a son is, you learn a lot about trains...and garbage trucks...and construction equipment.

Yes! A parasaurolophus!
:3

[RayvenQ]

Either a Hadrosaur/Charonsaurus or, most likely a Parasaurolophus

[teh_blumchenkinder]

he looked like myeah:

this is six-year old me drawing a fave toy. :d
diplodicus? *goes to look*
nope

[RayvenQ]

I had a stuffed dino about the perfect size for small hands, about five, six inches long. It was green, and had that long head, like a T but without the right side of the bar... Allosaur? No... *goes to look*
It was upright like a t-rex, but I know it was a plant-eater of some sort...
But other than that, I was never really into them.
I'm glad you and Khan have shared interests!

Hadrosaur by any chance?

My nephew **LOVES** dinosaurs. He had some of his toys with him on our family vacation a few months back. I had two out and had them next to each other.

He took them and said I couldn't have them next to each other. I asked him why.

"Because one didn't live with the other" (meaning one was extinct when the other was around).

He can go to a gift shop and name what the dinosaurs are (with very god accuracy).

Not bad for a 3 year old.

Now, who didn't love dinosaurs as a child?

Don't do it Eisa! It's a terrible song and you will never look at dinosaurs the same way again!
I was one of those kids who knew the scientific names of the dinosaurs, most bugs, and I could tell you ANYTHING about cats/dinos.
My cousin still calls Brontosaurus (Apatosaurus) "longnecks" I snort and then go

[Eisa]

My aunt told me that before she came to visit me, she visited a friend who also had a 3-year-old so that she could brush up on "toddlerese."

Instead, I was speaking in complete sentences and babbling about dinosaurs, including their full scientific names pronounced correctly. She thought I was the strangest toddler she'd ever met.

DINOSAURS RULE!

I'm afraid to click on that song.

It took years for me to get that dinosaurs were extinct.
Of course, I saw Jurassic Park the year it came out (yay I was 3!) and I went into my room and started packing my bags because I was going to Jurassic Park!
It was real people, not a cartoon, so it HAD to be real! Mum says I argued with her for hours about whether or not I could go, and it ended with her saying I wasn't big enough.

I might still base my housing decisions on how raptor-proof it is.

This is for the non-parents out there. Or parents who don't have toddlers. It's a real thing, probably one of the most random wtf songs in children's television history.

Again, this is 100% real.

o.O Wha... That's... Yeah I have no words.

My older boy was more into cars, the youngest is my lil Dino fanatic.

[monolayth]

my son is currently into cars at this moment.

My ex simply told them that the dinosaurs are all gone, that they went away a long time ago and it was very sad. My boys were 5 and 3 at the time, they both took it fairly well, no tears or anything.
