How Ivan feels about pancakes, “It’s very yummy. Tasty. It’s delicious.” Ivan knows more than one word for delicious, but pancakes are the only time he’s been motivated to use all three.

The claim yelled from his room after bedtime, “Catastrophe!”
Upon entering the room, “Binky, my binky”
Eric, “Did you drop your binky?”
Ivan, “Yeah” followed by soft sobs.
Binky was retrieved. Catastrophe ended.

“My big sister is eating his green beans.” It’s a nice complex sentence, but Ezri noticed his improper use of possessive pronouns immediately.

While playing with Hulk action figure during happy hour:
A: Does Hulk like to drink apple juice?
i: NO!
A: What does Hulk like to drink?
i: Beef!
Not sure where it came from, but it seems plausible.

Singing, “Pinky dinky doo, where are you?” This combination of the theme songs from Pinky Dinky Doo and Scooby Doo is a joke Ivan finds hilarious.

Ivan likes to sing everything to the name game song. He does it with everything he passes in the car like this:
“House, house bo bouse
fana fana fo fouse
mee my mo mouse
HOUSE!”

His sister was not sharing and was sent to her room. “Please go to Time Out with Ezri. Please, go to Time OUT! PLEASE!” We may need a new punishment for Ivan.

After watching Frozen with his sister, “How does she do that?” as he waved his hands around like the Snow Queen did when she made her ice magic. It occurred to me that he may not understand the difference between a Disney musical and a documentary.
