“I am making latkes!” The kids turned the play bagels felt side up to be Hanukkah latkes.

“Hello, Manchi-moo, it’s me Cyborg!” Manchi is our cat. Ivan was pretending to be Cyborg.

“Look, rainbow moons!” After looking at the sun Ivan explained that he could now see many rainbow moons in the sky.

As we were Trick-or-Treating:
“Let’s go to that house to see if there are grown-ups at home to put candy in my bucket.”

While putting Ivan to bed the day after Halloween:
i: I do not like this night.
A: Why?
i: I like Halloween night.

“Let’s make a family ice cream. You be the cone. I be the ice cream. Ezri is the CHERRY!” It worked fine when Ivan crawled onto me, but failed when the cherry tried to get on top of the ice cream.

“I call this rocking moose Bucking Bronco!”

“Can I have another horsey kiss?” (Hershey kiss sounds like horsey when Ivan says it.)

“Poo-dolph the Purple Nosed Paindeer Pad a perry piney pose!” – alternate lyrics brought to you by the Letter P

“I am gonna pick off your head and spin it like a dreidel.” He was playing with playmobil knights whose heads pop off pretty easily, but still. . .

When he found one of his old pacifiers, “Dat’s my binky. Did I put that in my mouth when I was a baby?” Yes, you did, Ivan. When you were a baby was about a month ago that you gave up your pacifier even at night for real and forever.
