Margaret had been referring to Duncan as her dinosaur lately.



Duncan loves the dinosaur coat. He would wear it 24/7 if we let him.

It’s actually a hand-me-down, though when we bought the coat we knew Margaret would have a little brother to wear it after her, so it was purchased with both of them in mind. The fact that the “girl” coats were all vomit-inducing combinations of hot pink, orange and periwinkle was also a factor. Here’s an old picture of Margaret wearing the coat at about the same age.



Margaret like it too, but she was never quite so attached. I’ve put Steggie in my ravelry queue. I’m not planning on starting it any time soon, but I think we’re going to need something like this coat for next year.
