I started crocheting a baby blanket for my new niece and after I'd done about six inches, I said, "Ezra, feel this baby blanket. Isn't it soft?" and he asked, "Uh, Mommy, is the baby skinny like that?"
Ezra's REALLY into crafts lately, and he's tried to comfort a crying Jude several times in the last couple days with the news that he's going to make him a craft, but Jude totally doesn't care and Ezra's starting to get on his nerves.
Ezra: Hey, Jude, guess what? I'm making you a Buzz Lightyear toy. The Buzz Lightyear toy comes with two astronauts: Buzz Lightyear and Lunar Jim! Isn't that great?
Jude: Not wight now.
Ezra: And the Buzz Lightyear toy will have a helmet on, 'cause he's an astronaut. And the Lunar Jim toy will have--
Jude: Go 'way, go 'way, go 'way, GO 'WAY!

Ezra: Hey, Mommy?
Me: Yeah?
Ezra: Hey, Mommy?
Me: Yes?
Ezra: Hey, Mommy?
Me: Ezra, just say what you have to say. You don't have to say "Hey Mommy hey Mommy hey Mommy."
Ezra: ......uh, hey, Mommy?

It's been a pretty great day. I worked out at the gym while the kids played in Child Watch, which they love, then we went to Tiny Tykes, where they played with all the toys and kids there, then this afternoon it was 67 degrees and Lauren came home early and they went to the park. I got my hair cut this afternoon, and while I was gone, Lauren told me that Ezra let the dogs out the front door and Buster took a crap in our elderly neighbor's yard right in front of her son who was doing yard work and she had to chase him down and then get Jude out of the middle of the road because the mail truck was coming and then go back over there and clean up the dog crap. So this evening at dinner, I said, "Let's all talk about our favorite parts of the day." Jude said, "My fav'rit part day, my fav'rit part day!" So I said, "Okay, Jude, what was your favorite part of the day?" and he said, "Buster poop."

Singing lullabies while lying in bed with a wiggly Jude:
Me: Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won't you let me go--OW! CAREFUL!
Ezra: Is that part of the song?
Ezra held his Hot Wheels car right over his water glass at dinner and said, "Look, Mommy, it's a car wash!" "No, don't put that in there!" "Why?" "Because it's dir--" Then he started sucking on the Hot Wheels car. "Nevermind."

Ezra: Look, Mommy, I have a bump inside my mouth. It nervouses me.
