Thank you, Anna. You made his "Christmas."
The funny thing (at least I can laugh) is that Jake drags his feet when we practice writing...or reading. Not his favorite thing; I have tried just about everything (including stapling pages together for him to make a story of his own. However, as I went to check on him, there he was coloring away and writing the words "The T-Rex is in the Jungle" (okay...it was backwards...but hey! He was writing the letters!)
It is now refered to as simply "My Book" and prases such as "Mom, where's My Book" and "Please don't use My Book" and "Have I showed you My Book?" have been common this weekend
Thank you again, Anna.
Oh...and Max is very possessive of the other dinosaur books. I have already read them more times than I can count. You girls got to know my boys well while you were here and hit the proverbial nail on the head with your gift.

However, once the ears, smile and eyeballs were in place it lost its need for an exorcist and became a nice little buddy. Whew!
We miss you, Balsbaugh family, and hope to see you soon
