Moments With Ez (Facebook edition)

I often post little moments with my Ez on facebook. They are just things that make giggle. I just thought I would post them here for our family book.

Posted on FACEBOOK 2011:

Me: Ezra, will you change your brother's diaper, please?
Ezra: What?! I'm not even a girl.
Me: So what, daddy changes diapers.
Ezra: No he doesn't.
Me: (silence. Well, he got me there.) -December 29

While talking with Ezra in a public restroom the woman in the stall next to us said: How old is she?
I replied: It's a boy and he's 3.
Then Ezra chimed in: Why is that girl wearing guy shoes?
I laughed and said: Sorry, he's just getting back at you for calling him a girl.
She half laughed.
Don't mess with Ezra. -December 20

While standing on a broken stool that continued cracking, Ezra said, "Ugh! Why does this thing hate me?!" I have no idea where he learned this. Do I really talk like that? Oh kids; they show us the worst of ourselves :) And every now and then they show us our best selves too. -December 14

Ezra: "Mom, you say, 'boys it's time for a nap' then I'll say, 'can I ride bikes when I wake up?' 'yes you can Ezra." 
it's nice that he creates dialogue for me. Somehow he always gets his way when he creates the dialogue though :) -December 9

‎"When I'm a daddy, I'll get to wear big socks." -Ezra
This kid is so excited to be a daddy, and now I know why. -November 29

I dropped my make-up this morning and it broke all over the floor. Ezra gasped and said, "Oh no! I want you to be pretty!" That's right, I teach my kid all about true beauty. -October 28

Ezra's preschool Halloween party is today. He's a monster. He ran in roaring and didn't stop until I left. He was very excited :) -October 27

Ezra's prayer: "Please bless us Ezra can ride the train and sit next to a girl." Oh brother! -October 24

Ezra to daddy: "Daddy, you go to work and make monies, so I can sit on my bum and go on rides." I'm afraid to ask where he learned something like that. -October 17

I just got done with a nature hunt with Ezra. I told him to find me 5 leaves. When I asked him if he knew what a leaf was, he said, "yes, it's conspicuous!" Then he finds them a says, "that was easy". - October 10

After James went out the door, Ezra ran after him and yelled, "have a good day at work dad! Make some monies! Love you." and closed the door. What really made my day was the smile it I noticed it put on James' face while I peered through the window. - October 4

Whenever Ezra plays with his trains, Makai comes and destroys his tracks. He now shouts, "Get away! It's the baby-zilla!" Poor, innocent little Mak. I blame James for this one. -September 26

Ezra's teacher was helping him draw a square. When he was done she told him it looked more like a circle. He replied, "Actually, it's more like an oval." he's either going to be a teacher's pet or a smart alec. -September 16

Ezra was trying to win over a worker at the bank yesterday, so mid conversation he randomly says, "astigmatism." She was like, "what do you know about that?!" and then she had to take him around to her co-workers while he taught her being dehydrated means you're thirsty and that he's precocious and how that means he's smart. He's a sponge. I love this age! -September 15

Ezra kicked his underwear into the toilet on accident at the gym this morning. They were soaking wet, so I of course didn't let him wear them. We walked out of the bathroom and the first girl he saw he walked up to and said, "I'm not wearing any underwear." That's the way to win the ladies. -August 23

Ezra crawled into bed with me this morning. After a little while he leaned over, stroked my cheek and whispered, "sweetheart, I need to talk to you." He then told me all about some dinosaur playing cards. It was apparently a funny story. Then I rolled back over, he stroked my neck and wrapped his arm around my head. He's smooth. It gets me every time. -August 22

Ezra was supposed to be sleeping. I went upstairs, gave him the look while he licked his lips and looked away. He got into the cookies. His excuse? "They fell and the lid was open."- August 17

I was on the phone with my mom enjoying the laughter of my boys playing in the other room when I realized Ezra wasn't helping Makai drink water, he had been pouring it on him and the floor! Poor Makai was soaked. -August 9

Ezra asked me to sing a song about cookie monster at bedtime, so I made one up. He stopped me and said, "Uh, I don't know dat one and it's kinda weird." When did I become the 'not-so-cool-mom'? I thought I still had a couple more years :( -August 9

Today we told Ezra that his grandma and pop pop are visiting Maya (his cousin who lives in Utah). His response was, "Oh dat'd be a long walk!" -August 5

Ezra blesses me with tender moments that I will cherish forever. The ones where he looks into my eyes and sweetly says, "I love you."
I just wish these moments weren't while I am squatting near the toilet waiting to help him wipe his bum. -July 28

Today something crashed in the grocery store and Ezra shouted, "HOLY Ghost!" He also told me to leave him alone today because "you make my headache." What to do with that goober? (Honestly have no idea where this came from. James and I never swear, nor can I recall reacting to anything with a "holy" anything.) -July 22

Ezra: Are you happy mommy?
Me: No Ezzy; I'm feeling a little sad.
Ezra: (runs to hug me) I'm so sorry you're sad. I'm sad too.
Me: Oh no! Why are you sad?
Ezra: 'Cause we're all friends. Mommy's sad and I'm sad too. We're bowf sad. Me, Ezra and mommy are sad.Me: (smile)
Ezra: (smile)
I guess being sad doesn't last long when you have kids. -

July 10

I was just sitting outside with Ezra watching the storm come in and I told him to watch for lightning. About 5 minutes later he pointed to our car and shouted, "There's Lightning! I found him!" He's maybe a little excited for Cars 2. -June 22

Ezra ran around all morning shouting, "Ahoy Ladies!" I don't know where he learns these things, but I am falling in love with his imaginaton. -June 21 

‎"Once upon a time mommy was happy and Makai was happy and daddy was happy and Jesus was happy and EZRA was happy! I don't know why." -guess who said this. -June 14

I drew a picture today. Wasn't sure what it was supposed to be until Ezra said, "A lizard for me!" I went with it until he said, "oh, no, it's a cat... hmm. it's a mouse." pretty sure I definitely can't draw when I can't even convince a 2 year old what I drew! How embarrassing. -June 11

I was following Ezra to bed and he said, "No, go away!" Then he started screaming for me to come back. I reminded him that he told me to go away. He said, "but den I said, "how am I gonna do dis?" and I told you to tuck me in!" haha. cuteness almost always wins in our house. -June 10

Today Ezra said, "Mommy, you know I love you when my say 'doing, doing'!" -June 6 

Ezra: I can finish my chicken, or got to bed. It's a choice.

I didn't even give him the options! Proud moment to know that your child hears you and actually understands you sometimes. -June 2

This morning I got a little impatient with Ezra for taking sooo long to get dressed. I finally snapped and told him I was leaving without him.
He quietly said, "mommy, please don't be mad at me."
I said, "Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just a little frustrated because we need to leave now." He replied, "Oh mommy, don't be fwustwated. Please don't be mad at me. Okay?"

How could I be, honestly? -May 28 

We were watching "so you think you can dance" last night and one of the girls was only wearing one sock during her solo audition. Ezra said, "Oh no! Only one sock! And I can't find dee udder one! Oh man!" He cracks me up :) -May 27

While watching Beyonce sing on American Idol Ezra said, "Oh, she's a princess..." Cute, right? Well, then he turned to me and said, "just like you!" I put my arm around him, he grabbed my hand and kissed it and then climbed up to kiss my cheek. Oh, now I remember why I love being a mother! -May 25

During his prayer tonight he said, "please bless me so I can poop on da potty and not in da tub." Yes, please answer his prayers! haha. I love that little 2 year old!!! -May 25

Today Ezra told me he carried me to Heavenly Father. I love that little Tressler Boy. -March 13

I gave Ezra a cookie today. He told me it was broken. I told him it would still taste good and to just eat the pieces. He responded with, "Oh, I'll fix it in my tummy!" -February 20

Today Ezra said, "I ate all my lunch-a-bubble!" He then helped himself to the "lunch-a-bubble" cookies I thought I hid from him. -February 16

During lunch today Ezra kept telling me to take another bite. I finally told him I was full. His response was, "Full? Oh, you need a diaper change?" Yes lil Ez, that's exactly what I meant. -February 12
