Drowning in Dinos

I completely and utterly feel like I am the only mother (of a girl) who is drowning in dinosaurs!
My brain is drowning in overload of dinosaur facts!  I know more about dinosaurs than I ever cared to know!
  For instance: the longest dinosaur name "Micropachycephallosaurus" belongs to one of the smallest dinosaurs ever discovered, or that the raptor portrayed in the movie Jurassic Park would not have been velociraptor because it was actually only the size of a turkey, so the ferocious meat-eating dino in the movie would have more appropriately been deinonychus.... see what I mean!  drowning.....

Not only is my brain drowning, my home is drowning in dinosaur toys.   Plastic figurines, puzzles, helmet, water can, movies, stuffed dinos...my iphone has dinosaur apps for crying out loud!  drowning....

Her wardrobe includes dino pajamas, dino sneakers, dino t-shirts, and if dinos came on skirts or dresses, she'd probably have those too (which is actually a project I may set out to accomplish).  drowning...

Her birthday was a dinosaur theme, her room is decked out in dino decor.  Both of which I'd love to share very soon.  drowning...

She wishes she could have a pet dinosaur.  She draws dinosaurs daily, and I don't think anyone has received a hand-made card from her that does NOT include a dinosaur drawn on it - even for Christmas, Valentines day and Easter (with bunny ears of course)!  drowning...

She can recite the name of a dinosaur for all but 5 letters of the alphabet.  You can't speak the word "dino" without her perking up and getting excited to know what you're talking about.  She's crazy....

....and I love it.

Her dino craze began over and a holf ago, so I continue to wonder if this is a phase, or if she is a future Ross Gellar a-la "Friends".   It would be interesting to find someone out there with a little girl (or even boy) that loves dinosaurs as much as mine does.
