Me: Look, the seitan came out of the oven.
Ezra: All by itself?

Ezra: Mommy, Sammy's kind of like a superhero, because he looks out for things while we're away.

Ezra found me holding an ice pack to my face.
Ezra: Why you doing that?
Me: Because Jude threw a book at my face and it hurt.
Ezra: What book was it?

Ezra: Mommy, Jude is the cutest little baby in the whole world. Because he say baby words all day, and it sound really really cute.

Ezra's writing letters to his preschool friends this afternoon, and I'm transcribing. My favorite so far reads, "You're my best friend. Come over to my house and share my puppy. Please send me a valentine and a dollar."

Ezra: Mommy, I'm gonna show you my rad moves, and then you can do my moves next time you go dancing.
Me and Lauren: Ooh! Good one! Nice move!
Lauren: I'll dance with you, big guy. [leans over and starts swinging her arms]
Ezra: Uh, Mama, that's kind of creepy.

One of Ezra's valentines came from the class bunny.
Me: I didn't know bunnies sent valentines. Do you think he made it himself?
Ezra: I thi-ink.
Me: How did he hold the pen?
Ezra: With his paws. And then he hold the scissors with his other paw, and then he glue it down, and then he send it to me.
