remember that scene in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex escapes and starts attacking the vehicles with the kids in it. Dr. Grant tells them not to move becuase the T-Rex’s vision is based on movement. okay, maybe only i remember that because it’s one of my favorite sci-fi movies. it’s killer in surround sound. anyway, we had a T-Rex jack moment the other day. Kelly, jack and i had taken a walk around the neighborhood. jack fell asleep during the walk (why else would we go for a walk in the first place) and was sound asleep as kelly and i were talking in the livingroom. jack still in his stroller sat straight up, look right at kelly and at this point we looked at each other, didn’t move, and looked back at jack, and then fell back asleep. so infants have the vision of a T-Rex. the more still you are in their presence the more they will sleep.
of course the other bit of dialogue in that movie that pertains to children occurs right before the T-Rex escapes when the lawyer tells one of the kids to put down the binoculars because they are heavy thus expensive. the more jack weighs the more expensive he gets. curious. the things you learn from the movies.
