E.Boy LOVES his new horse, Lucky. He's totally in to the cowboy thing now. That may have something to do with all the cowboy books we're reading....Cowboy Small is his favorite.
Our "fun Thursdays" have turned in to Ezra Time...which really is the same thing!!!!
So today he was riding (actually WILDLY riding) Lucky while watching a DVD, Spirit the Horse. He seems to be in a bit more control so we didn't have him wear a helmet while he was riding today. I mean really wild...he rises at least a foot off the saddle....total boy...and I thought his mama was a wild child..who knew?
Now if you haven't watched Spirit the Horse, it's about a wild horse that's captured by the bad guy (a calvary soldier), escapes, and later meets up with the good guy (a Native American that we used to call an Indian). Did you ever think the Indian would be the good guy? A huge change in just one generation. Anyway, there's a scene in the movie where Spirit is rolling around on the ground while the song plays "Get OFF my back". The bad guy put a saddle on Spirit, trying to break him. This is really important for what was to happen later in the day.
We go to the Post Office before taking E.Boy back to his mom....it's not too crowded (which is an oddity) but E.Boy begins shouting "Get Off My Back"...maybe not shouting, but definitely loud. Dave and I just look at each other...we don't know where this is coming from. I'm all done and leaving when E.Boy lays on the ground and rolls around, bucking, and yelling "Get Off My Back". We take him home and his mom doesn't know anything about it either. Much later in the day, mama called and explained everything to us. We need to be really careful what that boy is exposed to. What an imagination!!!!

LOL! That's one for the memory book! ;) And the funny thing is that he's actually singing when he's saying the words...well, his version of singing anyway which turns into a louder way of saying the lyrics. So glad I was able to shine some light into this odd manner. :)
Ezra is now a bonafide Cowboy Small after today. There's no turning back!
ok, i DEFINITELY have to have jess and ez over to ride our horse...we inherited (however probably will be getting rid of soon, because our boys have zero interest and it just takes up room in our garage) a horse that my mom grew up with. its HUGE, from the 50's, i believe. i dont know what its made out of , other than the stand being metal (it rocks forward and backward). anyway, if hes obsessed with cowboys and horses right now, i am pretty sure he would die over it. ill have to text jess....
