It’s finally that time. Our little one is three and loves dinosaurs, so she’s finally ready for the one, the only, DINOVEMBER.
If you’re here there’s a good chance you’re familiar with this phenomenon, but just in case… it all began with an amazing little book called What The Dinosaurs Did Last Night. This story details the lively dinosaurs waking up and causing ALL SORTS OF MISCHIEF, and it gave birth to the phenomenon of Dinovember: like the Elf on the Shelf, but without the creepy spying element.
So now that the munchkin is old enough to appreciate it, her own dinos are coming to life and taking over the house. Here are the first three days of our first DInovember!
Day One: Dinos in the Candy
Last night was Hallowe’en, and the dinosaurs were hungry. Fortunately, our Munchkin was not the least bit upset. In fact, she was entirely delighted that the dinosaurs had eaten her candy (to be fair, they mostly took Tootsie Rolls, because why???). In the book it’s suggested that they might try to blame the dog, and she spent a great deal of the morning holding dinosaurs towards our very confused Boston Terrier and yelling: “BLAAAAME!”
Day Two: Banana… Soup?
In case you don’t have a toddler, there is a song on YouTube that repeatedly asks “do you like [insert name of food here]” and then combines them in various disgusting ways. The Munchkin’s very favorite goes:
Do you like bananas? Yes, I do!
Do you like soup? Yes, I do!
Do you like… BANANA SOUP? No I don’t! Yucky!
So naturally, the dinosaurs had to try their hand at this, shall we say, unique recipe.
Day Three: The Dinos Decide to Color
It’s been a busy few days for the dinosaurs, so they decided to get out of the kitchen and try their hand at something a little more relaxing. Unfortunately, the Munchkin’s coloring book used Drum for the letter D, and the dinos took exception to that.
And that’s it… FOR NOW. Tune in soon to see more dinotastic adventures!
