Since we picked up Ezra's glasses yesterday, I'd been quizzing him to read me letters off signs. On our way to the YMCA to go swim yesterday, I asked him if he could read the letters on a sign up ahead. "No." "Okay, tell me when you can read the letters." "Um, when I have my glasses on?" I'd forgotten he'd left them at home.

Jude: That beer store!
Me: That's right, you went to that beer store with Mama.
Jude: Let's get some beer. I thirsty! Ha ha ha!

Jude: Where we goin'?
Me: We're going to the dentist!
Jude: They check my ears?
Me: No, they'll check your teeth.
Jude: I lay down?
Me: That's right, you'll lay down.
Jude: No.

Me: Ezra, what's this picture of?
Ezra: It's a school of fish swimming in the sea and the first one is the teacher.

Ezra: Mommy, I have something to tell you. I'm going to make you a poster in the morning, and you have choices. There's Superman flying over flowers...Batman flying over flowers...and Spiderman swinging from flowers and the Great Heart of Love.

Ezra: Mommy, I have something to tell you. When I grow up, I want to be a eye doctor, a superhero, and a artist. And my eye chart will be pirates.

Jude, building with Magnatiles: I make a funny robot. It eats bunnies.

Ezra: Jude, I have to be really brave in the morning. Do you know why?
Jude: Yeah.
Ezra: Because I'm getting a shot in the morning. I'm going to the doctor with Mommy. But you don't have to get a shot. But you are coming with us. I have to be really brave. But I'm going to take my gummi candy for when I get my shot. Remind Mommy, okay?
Jude: Okay.

Jude, after pooping in the bathtub: Dere's poop in dere. Buster do it.

Jude, pointing at a page full of scribbles: Dat dragon, dat good night*, dat dragon, dat good night, dat dragon, dat good night, dat dragon, dat good night, what dat?
Me: I don't know, it's your picture. What is it?
Jude: Dat dragon.

Ezra: Mommy, I have something to tell you. I want a surprise party. … Why are you laughing?
Me: Because surprise parties are a surprise for the person having the birthday, so it’s funny to ask for one, because then you’d know about it and it wouldn’t be a surprise.
Ezra: But that’s okay, because my memories go away really fast.

Ezra: Mama, Jude just stepped on me!
Lauren: Did you like it?
Ezra: What do you think? Does it look comfortable?
