R is fascinated with dinosaurs. He prefers the dinosaurs that go "ROAR;" basically the carnivorous theropods. It irritates C to no end that he calls them all "T Rex." Her insistence that this one is an allosaurus and that one is a ceratosaurus falls on deaf ears.
A distinction he does get is between singular and plural. He has three favorite theropods, his collective "T Rex," as in "Where's me T Rex?"
He has a favorite out of the three, the singular "T Reck." As in, "No, I don't want that T Reck! Where's me other T Reck?"

Chicken Pox
Maybe this is a divine sign.
Or maybe it's just a good opportunity.
At any rate, we have reached a point of enforced time at home. This is a good thing. I have had a lot of frustration with trying to maintain my usual pace without my right hand. Now, even if I wanted to, I can't.
T has the chicken pox. She erupted in blisters last night. R is cranky with a low-grade fever, but no blisters yet (C is right as rain, and chomping for stuff to do.)
With time to kill, a roaring headache and nothing on tv, T dug through the videos, and pulled out some oldie but goodies: The Land Before Time series. It's been years since we've seen them, but I found myself folding laundry and singing along to one of my favorite songs "Friends for Dinner."
R is fascinated with the dinosaurs who go "ROAR!" Yesterday he had a couple of toy T-Rex in his hand, telling D that they were "bad dinosaurs." D replied that they aren't bad, they're just hungry. He brought them to breakfast today and tried to feed them his cereal. I love it when kids put it all together--those moments are the brightest spots in my day.
