Ezra’s Second Book

Ezra’s second book was included in the packet of materials we got to take home from Celebration of Learning. Here are my favorite pages.

Belize. I asked him about the picture and he told me that the two people on the right are him and Finn and the third figure is a hermit crab.

The Iron Giant from the book and movie we have.

A hotdog with its bun on. For some reason, he finds this hysterical.

Iron Man 2 still playing a huge part in his life. Note the “mechanical” 2.

Me and my dad at Toys R Us. Clearly, a memorable trip.

Me and my family. He explained that Bruce and I are at the bottom, and he and Finn are up on the balcony. (Interesting … because in real life they aren’t allowed to be up there without a grownup.)

Bombs and dynamite. Just in case there was too much sweetness in the previous pages.

I went to Disneyland. The picture is It’s a Small World — his favorite ride.

I made pumpkin cookies. That’s me with both boys up on the ladder making cookies.

I found a baby squirrel and my brother found a black cat. That’s Bruce making the “tsst” sound to scare away the cat.

This last one he got to present to the class from the “Author’s Chair” and he was very proud. His teacher reported that presenting projects and ideas is “where Ezra shines.” It makes me so proud that my once painfully anxious and shy boy has come so far.
