Moses is a mom!

Moses has been saving his money so he could buy himself a toy. He finally had enough so off we went to the dollar store. He picked out a a little egg that had a volcano inside it. When you add water, the volcano dissolves and then you see a little dinosaur. You leave the dinosaur in for 3 days and it grows and grows until it is as big as the egg. Then you can "hatch" your dinosaur.

It was cute, but it wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary except that Moses loved it so much! He sat and watched it until the volcano was completely dissolved. He was thrilled to discover the baby parasaurolophus. And yes, he knew exactly what kind of dinosaur was in the egg. He would hold the egg and tell it how much he loved it. And he would give Scott and I a running commentary on what the baby was watching, thinking, and saying. He even made a song up about the parasaurolophus! When the time came for it to hatch, Moses carried it everywhere with him non stop for 3 days. He claims he is it's mom. When I explained that he is a boy so he should be a dad, he said, "It's OK mom, because I'm just pretending."
