Dinosaur Train

Both boys have been hooked on this little kids show called "Dinosaur Train". Each episode talks about a different dinosaur as well as simple explanations of the scientific process. For instance, every episode has a section about a "Hypothesis: an IDEA you can TEST. YAYYY!!!!!"

The other night I wondered how much Leon was absorbing from this show and asked him if he new any dinosaur names. "Tyrannosaurus!"

"WOW! That's great! How about this: can you tell me what a hypothesis is?" I asked.

He looked out of the corner of his eye for a bit and chirped, "Oh! That's the one with spikes on his back!"

Silas is quick to come up with a dinosaur name as well. He simply shouts out the first four syllables that come to his mind. "Kay Too Mee Pee!"

Close enough.

Our four-year-old fellow loves DT too. Except he seems to prefer the Broadway-style show tunes over any scientific information. Woo-hoo... Troadon Night Train...
