Ezra at 5.55 am, on the legendary night exactly a week ago, just a few minutes before the new president's speech.

Because I want to read something political, and something written by a woman who's a democrat definitely makes it easier to keep up my interest when kids and life easily distract.Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business
A book that Randolphina (Leo) got from Becca when he wasn't even "the size of a period mark"... Ezra loves it, and I find great inspiration in the color scheme and the illustrations. Hopefully I can use it soon for some kind of project...The Bilingual Family
This one speaks for itself... Hope we're going to sort it all out eventually.Suze Orman: The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke
Despite the flashy cover and 80's look of the author, it's a great book for learning how to get money savvy. Wish I found it earlier!Siri Hustvedt: The Enchantment of Lily Dahl : A Novel
Because I loved her latest book "What I loved". It made my feelings go berserk. And because she's an interesting and inspiring woman, living in my old neighborhood Park Slope.

So Ezra Heard Obama's speech. That's something we'll remind him of in years to come. Of course his political savvy mom and dad explained the historic nature of that speech. Ezra's face reflects how we all feel. Love that kid!

He really did understand that something huge was going on, and I imagine that he will remember that night forever. That kid remembers everything... :)
Also that he has a new little cousin to take care of next time he comes to visit! He actually loves toddlers, is always cuddling with and taking care of the smallest ones at day care. Believe it or not :)

My gosh, Ezra has become a young man..he does look excited and with a fabulous grin. I'm glad he got to see a first in American history(just like the rest of the country)...he is adorable

What a great grin....it was exactly how I felt...how we all felt!
And, after all, Ezra 'WAS born in Manhattan & lived in Brooklyn', so it stands to reason that he wanted to be part of the celebration!
As for remembering things....that kid has a mind like a steel trap...and the beautiful baby-blues to go with it!
Whatta kid, whatta night! Is the whole world grinning from ear to ear...or does it just feel that way??
