Teachers Don’t Need Training. They Can Even Be Five.

“What I like the most about playing dino doctor is teaching her the dino names like you taught me ” – Aidan, 5

I wondered, very briefly, when we had our second kid, isn’t it going to be a lot harder trying to manage two kids learning at different ‘grade levels’? That was quickly replaced with, ‘well, I guess she’ll have two teachers, and he’ll be a teacher of things he learns.’

They played dinosaurs for a couple of hours together. Well, an hour of dinosaurs, and an hour of prehistoric flying reptiles. What you are looking at here, is the goings-on of a pteranodon nest. Those are egg balls, and that’s not skipping ropes around his neck. It’s fish. (Dunkleostus, to be exact)
