Ezra stats

Today Ezra had his 3 year check up.  He sat very well and tolerated Dr. Pam's exam with many smiles and nods.  He is 38 inches tall and 36 pounds, which places him in the 75th % for height and 90 something % for weight.  But Dr. Pam felt his shoulders and back, and wasn't worried about his BMI. She was impressed with his vocabulary, and with how closely he pays attention to the words we say.  The only worrisome thing: the sucking of the fingers.  Apparently he is pushing out his front teeth, and badly. So for all the rest of the day he has been asking me, 'why can't I suck on my singers?'

MLK Day

My high for today:  We watched an abbreviated version of MLK's I have a dream speech.  At lunch, Elsie prayed this:
God, thank you for this day, and for our food, and thank you for Martin Luther King Jr's speech and for making it come true.  And thank you for Ezra. Amen.

Elliot quote

I just overheard this while Elliot cleaned up a game of Dominion with Michael:
E: I was trying to be conservative by having a lot of land instead of a lot of money.
