Cassidy's Dino Project

Cassidy has always loved dinosaurs.  I think it began around age 4 when someone handed down a dinosaur book to us, and around that same time she watched her first (of many!) The Land Before Time animated movies.  She was hooked!  She loved learning about them, talking about them, drawing them...her favorite topic for a good while.  She must have talked about them a lot at school, too, because it seemed nearly every birthday gift she received from friends was coincidentally dino-themed!  She particularly loved the brachiosaurus.  Cassie has one of those personalities that's all-in; once her interest is piqued, she can't get enough and she seeks out every nugget of knowledge on whatever it is.  Each year at school, around the end of the year, she'd see the older kids walking into school with large dioramas of dinosaurs that they had to do for science.  She couldn't wait to get to 2nd grade so she could do one!  Well the time finally came, and wouldn't you know, that major dinosaur obsession had finally started to wane (only to be replaced with new discoveries such as American Girl, shopkins, art, fashion, etc.).  But she still maintained her excitement for this project and was assigned the titanosaurus.  She worked for hours on her clay models and the drawing for her background.  She was so proud to walk in to school on presentation day, and we are so proud of her effort.  Our dino-loving girl.  We love you!
