On the way back from the mailbox, I dropped a scrap of paper, and Ezra picked it up.
Me: Thanks for picking that up for me.
Ezra: Yeah. I did it 'cause I don't want us to be bugs.
Me:...what?
Ezra: To be litterbugs.

Ezra and I were almost done with an alphabet project, and he wanted to watch TV.
Me: Do you mind if I finish up this project myself?
Ezra: Yeah, I think you can do it 'cause you're a big girl.

After I named some of Jude's favorite words (no, wawa, ball, no, block, no, nuss!), I asked Ezra what some of his favorite words were.
Ezra: I like medium words, like 'thank you,' 'please,' 'hungry,' 'sleepy,' and 'Can I watch a TV show while Jude takes a nap?'

I made Ezra a spend/save/give bank, and tried to explain it to him.
Me:You can give money to the church, orto buy food for people who need it, or...
Ezra: I want to give money to the church that look like a skyscraper.
Me: Baby, any church that looks like a skyscraper doesn't need your money.
Ezra: No, that church skyscraper that we spend the night in and go to the 'quarium.
Me: That was a hotel.

Ezra: Mommy, when Jude gets bigger, is the next baby going to be a boy or a girl?
Ezra: Mommy, I was born first, right? I was born first, then Jude.
Mommy: That's right.
Ezra: But where did you come from?
Mommy: I grew in Nana's belly, and then I was born.
Ezra: But where did the first Mommy come from? She didn't come from someone's belly.
