This afternoon Corwin had a dinosaur open house at school. He was supposed to act as a tour guide for Mom and Dad as we looked at the various dinosaur exhibits that the children had spent the last couple weeks working on. Corwin had a couple of favorite ones that we saw repeatedly. His most favorite was a demonstration of how big the mouth of a T. Rex was. He was stunned that Dad would have been two bites for a T. Rex.
As far as I could tell there were only two spillage incidents, both of them involving Corwin. One of them was at the sand table and Corwin, to his parents utter shock and disbelief, went over to the cabinet, got out a dustpan and brush and cleaned up the spilled sand. It was surreal.
After the exhibits it was time for the class to sing some dinosaur songs. All of them except Corwin were intent on the songs. Various groups of children had on head pieces representing various types of dinosaurs. Then the teacher asked for volunteers to replace a child who had gone home early Corwin jumped out and traded his headgear for the new one although as far as I could tell they were identical. Each section of the song was about a specific type of dinosaur and the corresponding children would stand up. When it was time for Corwin’s group, Corwin sang somewhat and wandered about looking at various classroom objects next to the singing area. But at least he’s got a singing voice every bit as good as his Dad’s!
