Now that it is springtime, Ezri and I often have some after nap drinks together on the porch while we wait for Eric to get home from work.
Usually this is watered down apple juice, sometimes with a snack.
Ezri loves setting up our glasses for happy hour and sitting at the porch table.
I got her a cup that is very similar to my cup. Though she is lucky enough that hers has a monkey face on it.
She’s also a big fan of clinking glasses together and saying cheers.
I really like this new ritual of having drinks together on the porch too.
Me: Ezri it is happy hour.
Ezri: Happy hour! Happy hour! On the porch! Let’s do it!
These two move too fast for good photos, but you get the idea.
Ring around the rosie
Pocket full of posy
Ashes, ashes, we all fall DOWN
I continue to be amazed at the patience of Ezri’s friends who have a year or two on her (though they don’t have too many inches on her necessarily). They have taught her hide-and-seek, climbing, helped her practice tricycle pedaling, and showed her how to ring-around-the-rosie. There’s something about watching Ezri learn from the big girls that I find smile worthy.
Two Girls,
Two Buckets,
One Mission:
PICK DANDELIONS!
I figure the fewer that go to seed, the less propagation, right?
The intrepid hunters did not let our brush pile stop them.
Twenty minutes and lots of running around later that bucket was mostly full of yellow dandelions.
The hunters accepted payment for their services in the form of fruit cups.
Amanda: It’s time to put on shoes.
Ezri: No wear shoes. I’m a penguin.
Amanda: That’s silly you are not a penguin.
Ezri: Yes. I is a penguin. Waddle Waddle Waddle Waddle Waddle
