As you know, Lex has most of his books
memorized and likes to randomly burst into book (some people
burst into song, he bursts into book). He’s been doing this for
awhile, but in the past few weeks he has started adding his own
twist to the books – his and Eve’s names. It’s pretty cool. The
week we were at my parents he was walking around reciting a
Sesame Street book where Ernie leaves home because Bert is mad.
“I have no home,” he says. “Eve is made at me. I have to find
new place to live.” :) Not the best book to recite in public,
but funny anyway. He’s done it with a few other books too. This
morning we came downstairs and it was dark. I said “Ohh, it’s
dark.” Lex said “It’s so dark. How will Lex and Eve battle the
blaze in the dark?” – a line from his Tonka Rescue Trucks book.
(A side note, I was carrying them both down the stairs this
morning because Lex said “Want mommy to carry two babies.” He
cracks me up.)
