Kaden's Latest Addiction

Being a mother, I had no choice but to go through the Barney phase (among many others), Spiderman phase (which Kaden is still hung up on), the Power Ranger phase, and now the Dinosaur phase.

I don't exactly remember how Kaden's dinosaur craze started, but he patiently watches documentaries and short cartoon shows on youtube [up to two hours at one time] while I doze off. He is actually interested in the names of all the dinosaurs and he obsesses over pictures of them. [Btw, if anyone can tell me where to get a book on Dinosaurs with illustrations & descriptions, I'd be eternally grateful!]

I downloaded Bolt for him the other day, but he got bored fast. His new favorite movie? The Land Before Time, circa 1988. O diva? I introduced it to him three weeks ago, since then we would end up watching it together almost every night, and then we'd sing If We Hold On Together every night before going to bed [After I tell him his bedtime story]. All part of being a mother.

I remember that I loved the movie when I was younger, and I had tears when Little Foot's mother died. That part is really really sad, and even now it I can still feel a tug in my heart when we get to that part of the film.
