Dinosaur Naming By: Blake Forrest age 4

So I showed Blake and Ryan our website today. I told them it is a place for us to write about things we do and fun stories about our family. At dinner tonight Blake asked if he could tell a story about Mammoth's and dinosaurs on our website. Below are his exact words....

Jacqueline just found out that mammoth's are elephant's cousins. Dinosaurs are extinct and these were the dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. These are all of the names the dinosaurs were called...there were flat mouths and two horns and rhinasosaurus' and there were tyranasaurus rex and there were small dinosaurs and there were club tails and there were hatasauruses and stegasaurus and triceratops and there were little types of lizards and there were small mammals. Here are all of the flying dinosaurs...there were flying reptiles and they were called terasaurs and there were also small flying dinosaurs with big frills on their heads and here are the ocean living animals... there were small looking dolphins but they were not dolphins called ichthyosaurs. The next dinosaur in the ocean..this dinosaur was very big, just like long necks, but they had flippers and a very long neck, they are called plesiosaurus. There is another ocean dinosaur, it was very big and it had very sharp teeth, and it ate the small looking dolphins, it is called pliosaur. And there were small snails called ammonites, they had a shell, but on the shell was an eye, on the other side there was another eye and there were tentacles. Every dinosaur is extinct, even the ones in the ocean. Paleontologists found all of these bones in hard rock mountains. Blake wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up! And that's all I want to say. (Now let's read what I wrote)

This entire paragraph was written entirely by Blake (forgive my spelling on the dinosaur names). I think it is really funny that Blake referred to me as Jacqueline (not mom) and himself as Blake. I hope you enjoyed our entry!

Blake, thank you for teaching us about the dinosaurs. You forgot to mention our favorite pink and purple dinosaur, the Matt-o-saurus!
I love you and have fun going back to school.

Blake, I love your story. I learn every time I'm with you more and more about dinosaurs. I'm so glad you and Ryan could go with grandma and grandpa to the discovery museum, they sure had alot of dinosaur exhibits. Hope to see you before school starts.

Blake- your story was amazing. I love dinosaurs! They also remind me of my nephew Nick who knows much more about dinosaurs than his Aunt Amber. I enjoyed visiting you on Saturday. See you again soon!
