As you have probably discovered my posting have become fewer and fewer.  My apologies as I have been nauseous and fatigue, but I am so excited for this 2nd pregnancy!  I have just started my 2nd trimester and I am feeling better, but not 100% yet.  I still have my days!  My hubby has been great at entertaining my son and keeping up the house.

Thank you for your patience and I can't wait to start posting again.

Dinosaur Train Apparel REVIEW

When I received this outfit my preschooler and I was so excited.  Kind of nervous with my son cause when he doesn't like something he is "determined" to not try it on or use it.  I didn't make a big deal out of it I just hung the outfit in the living room.  When he saw it he said "What is that mama?", I said "Oh, just an outfit I received."  He then said, "Oh, I like it...can I wear it?".  The next day he wore the outfit and LOVED it!  He showed is best friend his new outfit which puts a smile on my face.

Dinosaur Train’s summer line shirts and pants/shorts sets are great for back to school. Look for NEW Dinosaur Train apparel coming in August and September at Kohls and Kmart.

Dinosaur Train is helping kids get ready for Kindergarden

Practice reading and speaking. Help your child practice the letters of the alphabet while learning, speaking and singing about the diversity of dinosaurs that once lived on Earth with the “Dinosaurs A – Z song.” Have fun learning about letters, and dinosaurs at: http://www.pbs.org/parents/dinosaurtrain/activities/handson/dinosaursatoz.html.

Learn about color. Help your child understand, investigate and make predictions about the science of color, using household basics including food coloring, clean food jars/containers, colored markers and a cookie sheet. For details go to: http://www.pbs.org/parents/dinosaurtrain/activities/handson/colorfulhypothesis.html

Develop fine motor skills such as coloring; cutting; drawing; buttoning; zippering; building. With Buddy’s help, you can practice some of these skills while making a Stegosaurus Puppet, details at: http://www.pbs.org/parents/dinosaurtrain/activities/artscraftscooking/stegosauruspuppet.html

Practice gross motor skills such as running, jumping and throwing. Try “Playing Dino Ball Your Way” to improve these skills--and get some exercise too--by inventing the rules for an imaginary game and then playing it! Details at: http://www.pbs.org/parents/dinosaurtrain/activities/games/dinoball.html

Explore size and scale. Using illustrations and physical markers, kids can measure out size differences in large dinosaurs to understand their size and scale! Check out the activity “Even Bigger than T.rex!” at the following link and have some fun while learning about size: http://www.pbs.org/parents/dinosaurtrain/activities/handson/biggerthantrex.html

Get ready for an all-new season of Dinosaur Train this August with “Dinosaur Big City” which premieres on PBS Kids on August 22
