We got SUPER lazy Saturday evening, and after a fun wander around the grounds of the lighthouse at Beavertail State Park, we went through the drive-thru at McDonald’s and got Jack his FIRST Happy Meal! We let him unpack the box himself, which resulted in a cascade of fries all over his high chair tray. He dipped his fries and his McNuggets all by himself and totally ignored the apple slices (which is a little surprising – lately he’s been all about the apple slices).
When dinner was over, we let him open his first Happy Meal toy! It was a weird potato-looking thing that we eventually figured out was an egg that opened to reveal a dinosaur. Jack was thrilled about the egg and totally freaked out about the dinosaur. (It’s a 2-inch tall T-rex with jaws that open and shut.) We put it safely away back in its egg, and he eyed the whole thing warily until bedtime.
He warmed up to the dinosaur when we tried again this morning, emphasizing that it’s a baby dinosaur, and look, it’s saying hello with a baby rawr. I found it later, stuffed between the couch cushions. We may have to put it away for a while.

I hope you got some good pictures of him enjoying his happy meal. One day soon he may be fascinated by dinosaurs. I remember countless hours watching The Land before Time with Gaby and its sequels. Those squeaky voices are still in my head!
