Turkey, Tantrums & T-Rex

Originally posted November 30, 2014
We’re recovering from the usual onslaught of Turkey & trimmings pondering the logic of a country that tramples, fights & battles for items less than 24 hours after they give thanks for all that they have.....

I spoke about Black Friday and the slow erosion of a so-called family day by stores that are always trying to one-up each other last year so I’ll skip that view because little has changed.

So, the feast was a success, even the political talk was kept to a minimum which qualifies as more of a miracle!  No-one spent anytime throwing up the next day either so all went well.

Ryan is currently enthused by the idea of T-Rex, when he’s throwing a tantrum - often instigated by his dad merely looking at him - a showing on YouTube of Walking with Dinosaurs quickly calms him down.  What’s somewhat entertaining is to see him stalking around as a T-Rex would, he even pulls his arms back and sticks his fingers out just as he imagines the dinosaur did.

He’s getting more excited about the prospect of Santa coming to visit, he needs to be reminded that Santa is always watching him and bad boys don’t get presents.  That works for a minute or so until his mind drifts off to the next scene of impending doom.

Ryan is exceptionally creative though, right now I’m looking at 4 colorful lego “Minecraft Skeletons” alongside a lego “T-Rex” all created by him with no prompting from us.  Hopefully he can keep that interest and desire to make things for many years.

A quick report this time, we’ll do our best to get 1 more in before Christmas.

Have fun,
J,J & R.
