Lexie has been pretend playing for about a week now that she has a baby brother. Her imaginary brother takes many forms, even sometimes invisible. Yesterday at Albertson's we bought a two dollar toy that now is playing the role of baby brother. The toy is one of those dinosaurs that grow (very, very, very slowly) in water, but the new spin on it is that it's inside what appears to be a genuine chicken egg. I examined it very closely and it looks like the carefully split an egg, re-sealed it, poked three holes (one on narrow top, two on wide bottom) and painted it pink. The instructions are to put it in a container of warm to hot water and watch as (12-24 hours later) the dinosaur grows and breaks out of his egg. So, Lex has been watching this all last night, and it was the first thing she wanted to check on this morning. As of last night, it was starting to show signs of stress and cracking. This is much more fun than the other "add water will grow" creatures. She has been so delighted to care for her new baby.
