Eggs


Lately, Ezra loves eggs. Not eating them, just eggs in general. He loves to open the carton, count them, take one or two out and put them back. He loves cracking them open when we make pancakes and he likes to tell me where they came from ("cock-a-doodle-doo").

Today I let him carefully take one out and then asked him to put it back. Instead of following instructions, he took another egg out. "Uh oh Ezra," I said in my best "concerned mom" voice. I saw the crazed look in his eyes and knew he was going to make a run for it. I wasn't quick enough. Giddy with his momentary freedom, he ran straight for the wall, screaming, and smashed both eggs into it.

He knew he'd done a bad thing and that time-out was coming but he didn't seem too concerned - like all he wanted was to go crazy with eggs and he was willing to pay the price.

Great story. And I love to see another boy in the family has the binkie in their mouth. I wait for my day to report the same story.

Oh boy, that's a good one. I think Vance and Ezra could have a grand time, if they could spend time together. The stories of both boys tells me they're two peas in a pod. Yup, right down to their fondness for Binkies. GA Jean

Come to think of it . . eggs are pretty dang cool. All that mush and goo disquised with a hard shell.

He's no dummy :>

Ezra,

You are a scream. How adorable. Sometimes I feel like I want to run and smash eggs into the wall too. We love you.
