Dinosaur charades

 Camden was sitting on my lap and said, "I don't like it when the  baby kicks me."  Sure enough, I noticed the baby was kicking a lot!

 My very favorite thing lately is a game that Camden and Brian play.  I don't have enough dinosaur smarts to play.  Anyway, Camden will say something like, "I am a theropod. I have three claws and am really fast."  Then he'll go up on his toes, make his fingers into 3 claws and run across the room.  Brian's job is to guess what dinosaur Camden is.  Then, they switch, and Brian says something like, "I am an herbivore.  I have the longest tail."  Then Camden guesses. 
~They talk about the relationships between dinosaurs "I am Euoplecephalus' cousin" or "I am a hadrosaur (or ceratopsian, pterasaur, theropod, sauropod, etc), or "I hunt Protoceratops". 
~They talk about what foods the dinosaur eats (plant eater, eggs, predator, omnivore, etc). 
~They talk about the size of the dinosaur (big, little, smallest of all, heaviest, longest, tallest, bigger than... or smaller than..., etc). 
~They talk about physical traits "I have a club on my tail" or " I have a crest on my head" or a "spine on my back" or "I have bony back plates and a thagomizer" or "I am a biped"     

 They go back and forth, and Camden LOVES it.  Nate starts pretending he's a dinosaur, too.  He gets down on his hands and knees and does a move that resembles either a frog or a bucking bronco or a mix of both.  They can go on for a half hour or 45 minutes without repeating many dinosaurs.
