Eric has loved been obsessed with animals pretty much his whole life. It's like he just cannot absorb enough information about them, or look at enough pictures of them. He knows the names of far more dinosaurs, sea creatures and wild animals than I did even as an adult (before becoming this guy's mom, that is). Lately he's been getting really interested in where the animals come from, like Australia and Africa and "this tiny island where Mommy used to live".
He has such a driven and passionate personality, and we are really loving watching him grow and develop. So curious to see what he does with this mind of his! :)
* He has a few dino apps on the iPad and he will pour over them forever! The one in the photo above doesn't even make noise, its just about 200 different species of dinosaurs and their pictures. He wants me to sit with him and tell him all their names over and over.
* Today we went to Crown Books and got him a bunch of cheap animal books. I think the ones in this picture are field guides or something from the 80's. We looked at them for about an hour this afternoon.
* He loves to categorize his animals by size, type (cats, sea animals, farm animals, etc), and other criteria. Recently he noticed that some of his animals have "C E" on the bottom, so he's been going through all his toys looking for that marking.
