Because it's been too long since I've scanned and posted any of Georgia's drawings, here's the latest. She started work on this one during art class at school yesterday, and finished it after she got home. It colorfully depicts a T. Rex in the act of eating a brachiosaurus. The brachiosaurus, as you can see, is less than pleased by this development.


I went to Georgia's first parent-teacher conference on Monday. At one point, her teacher paused for a moment, unsure how to phrase her next thought, and then proceeded to explain about the strange, high-pitched groan that Georgia makes on the playground, in the classroom, and especially when playing with the big bin of plastic dinosaurs during free time.

"Yeah, that's the noise she makes when she's being a dinosaur," I said apologetically, and the teacher was immediately relieved to know I was already aware of it. I promised to encourage her to be a dinosaur more quietly in future.
