Dinosaurs on Loan

My great grandpa, who we affectionately call Pa Pa Tom, spent the night at our house yesterday on his way back to Missouri from visiting relatives in Scott City. The kids have always enjoyed Pa Pa Tom’s visits and Landen was especially delighted to have a buddy to play with. They played some baseball outside and, later in the evening, Landen pulled out several different toys and games so he and Pa Pa Tom could play. They played everything from “bowling” to “dinosaur attack” with Landen’s little plastic dinosaurs.

This morning, Landen brought the dinosaurs out again. And, though sharing does not come naturally to Landen, I heard him ask Pa Pa Tom the following question just as he was getting ready to leave, “Do you want to borrow my dinosaurs?”
