On the Dinotrux Bandwagon

You may have heard that I’m having another kid.

I have no idea what this child will be like, but if it’s a boy, I’m pretty sure there are two things I can bank on:

1) He’ll like trucks.
2) He’ll like dinosaurs.

Detective Munch certainly does.

I liked dinosaurs when I was a little kid. A lot. I still remember a favorite field trip to the Peabody Museum in New Haven, loving the fossils and leaving with an awesome dinosaur-shaped pencil eraser. And even thought I can’t be positive, and I’m not exactly a gear-head today, I probably liked trucks too. I mean, I know I liked cement mixer trucks because WHO DOESN’T?

Certain things just seem to be pretty universal among boys (though if your little boy doesn’t like trucks, or superheroes, or sports, that’s okay too!) netflix, streamteam, dad bloggers, dinotrux, kids, children, family, tv, entertainment, dinosaurs, trucks, funny, mommy bloggers, mom blogs, dad and buried, fatherhood, family, movies

Dinosaurs and trucks are the small boy equivalent of football and beer. So I’m surprised it took someone this long to come up with a kids show that combines them. (Someone already came up with a toy that does. And my son still loves that thing!)

This month, Netflix premiered “Dinotrux,” a new cartoon about dinosaur/truck hybrids which could only be more up my son’s alley if they wore capes and constantly told their parents “no!” Whenever my son turns it on, it’s like he just scored a free trip to the Champagne Room. Dinosaurs and trucks are like catnip to a feline. Blood to a vampire. Free time to a parent. 100% pure unadulterated ecstasy.

My son loves it to the point that I feel bad for the non-truck/Dino shows. I don’t know if even Star Wars and superheroes can withstand this assault. Add in the fact that the series teaches about friendship and problem-solving and stuff, which has sold Mom and Buried and me, and it’s a slam dunk.

Judging by the success of the latest Jurassic Park flick, dinosaurs aren’t just for little boys. (Unless that was just about Chris Pratt. My son hasn’t discovered him yet.) But my son already knows more about them than I do, and he probably knows more about construction trucks too. He definitely knows more about dinosaur/truck hybrids.

I’m not sure how well any of that will serve him when he’s older, but when he starts Kindergarten in a few weeks, he’s going to crush the morning water cooler conversations.

As part of the Netflix Stream Team, I was compensated with a year’s subscription to Netflix for a year and an iPad Mini. But my opinions are 100% my own.

Except for the ones Mom and Buried provides for me.

  1. If you want to see an interesting phenomenon, sneak up behind him when he’s watching the show and turn it off. The reactions are priceless.

    1. You can try the sneaking up idea but when they get older and figure out how to work the remote expect to see your show disappear unexpectedly. Hilarious! And to add to the fun your response will leave you looking like a raging hypocrite (though most parenting ends up hypocritical if we’re honest 😉 )

  19. Everything composed made a lot of sense. But, what about this? what if you were to create a awesome post title? I am not saying your information isn’t good., however what if you added a title that makes people want more? I mean BLOG_TITLE is kinda vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they write post titles to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it might make your website a little livelier.

  21. Hi there! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a group of volunteers and starting a new initiative in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us beneficial information to work on. You have done a wonderful job!

  22. There are a few short walking trails along the lake that you can take to get away
    from the crowds. At Lake Maralgol, you will have the opportunity to explore the lake a
    little bit more than at Lake Goygol. It’s a smaller lake located deeper into the national park, and
    you can only get there by transportation provided by the park through Lake Goygol,
    so your taxi won’t be able to drive you there.
    I spent around 4 hours, taking my sweet time at
    Lake Goygol and Lake Maralgol before coming back down to the city
    at around 4 PM. Thankfully, there is another
    lake not too far from Lake Goygol that offers
    more things to do and has significantly
    fewer tourists you can visit after Lake Goygol.

    The official website is the ultimate destination for
    secure, engaging, and rewarding casino entertainment.

    It’s a strong international player offering high-quality
    services. Dolly Casino ranks highly in ratings thanks to quality gaming content and financial incentives.

    According to reviews, operators communicate politely
    and can help with all key aspects of casino operations.
    They operate 24/7 and are ready to help with technical and
    bonus queries.

  23. Seating arrangement is upon restaurants discretion. Discover all the finer
    details to make your time at Crown Melbourne seamless and enjoyable.
    In addition, just because tools like Lovable allow people without any
    coding experience to create software for their specific
    needs, it doesn’t mean that those non-developers will be able to maintain that code over
    time, these critics say. Start for free, no credit card required.

    For a fancy time at Rosetta Ristorante, try the
    $159pp set menu or go for the Great Barrier Reef Coral Trout.
    Koko ranks as one of the top restaurants in Crown Melbourne for 2023.

    Even if you don’t like steak, there are seafood and vegetarian options
    available to satisfy your appetite at this place.
