The other day my son, Ezra, was looking around and to get his attention I said his name aloud. He responded by looking at me in which I have been waiting for this moment for months now. Waiting to know when he would know his name. And I can finally say that he knows his name and responds most of the time when you say it. I have been wondering since he was born if he acts like a boy named Ezra (whatever that means) or if he will just grow into his name.
Ezra means in Hebrew, aid. And his middle name James means supplanter in which that means to take the place of. So all in all my son's name means to aid and take the place of boring. Wow, did we come up with a very interesting name for him. Hopefully he won't be a boring kid even though it's in his name. We'll see as he grows into his name and we begin to see the personality of our child and find out what handedness he is.
It's been very exciting these last few weeks watching him change as he develops many more skills. I'm enjoying boring motherhood and watching the many changes my son goes through. But I know I will miss him when I return to teach in the fall.
Good night for now!
