Ezra was surprisingly good at stacking blocks, even skinny ones on end a long time ago. I want to even say a year ago. But I was particularly impressed with his engineering skills this evening. He was stacking towers and I was counting the blocks for him. Then without any demonstration on my part he used two blocks to make the bottom level, straddling the next layer block in half of the first two, like an older more experienced mind would do. That worked well. He got six high that time instead of five. Then he happily knocked it over and started again. This time he used double blocks for the first two levels. He got seven stories high. He might just be as much of a smarty-pants as his brothers. God help us.
And his vocabulary has exploded as it's wont to do at this age. He suddenly seems to have hundreds of words. Now, to be honest, most people would only understand a handful of them, but I get it. Every day, every context finds him demonstrating new words he is wanting to try out. So fun. Now if only he doesn't become as challenging as his brothers. Wishful thinking I fear.
