When Dinosaurs Ruled Our Kitchen

I was going through old photos today and found these gems from when Theo was just three.

When Dinosaurs Ruled Our Kitchen

Look at that concentration! He was convinced that dinosaurs lived in our kitchen cabinets and would spend hours setting up elaborate scenarios with his plastic collection.

Those little grabby hands trying to reach everything

This kid was fearless - always trying to reach things he had no business reaching. I swear he grew six inches just from all that stretching and climbing.

Sharing is caring, even with plastic dinosaurs

And don’t get me started on snack time. Everything had to be shared with his dinosaur friends first. The floor was constantly covered in Cheerios and plastic prehistoric creatures.

That face when mom catches you being adorable

That innocent face though - like butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. Meanwhile, there are toy dinosaurs scattered across half the kitchen behind him. Some things never change. He’s ten now and still asks me daily if we can get a real dinosaur. The obsession continues, just with bigger vocabulary and more complex theories about why velociraptors were actually the smartest predators.
