Acting
I believe Ezra, like many children, is a great actor. Yesterday, he was red faced, tense and near tears because he had to eat another piece of lettuce from his plate. As soon -v- said, ,,You don’t have to eat the last piece of lettuce,” Ezra’s face and body sprang free to life with a grin. The red spread over face faded and joy spoke forth, ,,Can I have my treat?” After -v- said, ,,After you eat the last piece of lettuce,” his face flushed red; his body tensed and face squinted the whinny wail like some one just told him all his toys had been taken forever. As I sat there and watched him whine and fuss and throw a tantrum over one piece of lettuce, I decided to copy Ezra’s tantrum. It only took about fifteen seconds of my acting like Ezra for Ezra to laugh and smile at me for acting like him.
