Swiping Dinosaurs

Tonight, I took control of the TV, having had an exhausting day and wanting to watch something other than kids television. So, I decided to put on The Big Bang Theory, knowing that Troy had no interest in it. As expected, he fussed for a little bit, then asked me if he could look at the dinosaurs on my phone. I told him that he'd need to go get my phone first, which was over on the island. So, he popped up, went and got it, and brought it back to me. I opened the Jurassic World app, and handed him the phone.

While my wife and I enjoyed our TV show, Troy contentedly perused the dinosaurs, swiping through the list, finding one he wanted to see, and then clicking the picture. For over an hour, he happily twisted, turned, and vocalized dozens of dinosaurs. He watched movie snippets of the dinosaurs fighting. And he found cartoon videos created just for the app (I still don't know where he found these). It was cute to watch his dramatic, exaggerated motion as he swiped through the dinosaurs. At some point, my wife and I were more entertained watching him than watching the TV!
