Ezri stayed in her room for about 20 minutes at nap time.
She emerged wearing the monkey hat and saying she just “took a little rest.”
Then she showed me how she had figured out how to climb the chair in her room and stand on its arm to open the high curtains.
YIKES!
I think the monkey was not resting.

Who do you think is the winner Ezri or her friend, Kinsie?

Round One

Round Two

Round Three

I don’t know who won, but these girls sure had FUN!

Ezri is willing to share Woof-woof. Now we know for certain that she loves her brother.

Ezri with her comfort items (pink blankie, Woof-Woof, and Piggie).

Ezri, coming down off a bit of an upset, and now needing comfort:

Ezri: I need pink blankie! And Woof-Woof! And Piggie!
Eric: Mama can go get them for you.
Ezri: Do they weigh less than a gallon of milk?
Eric and Amanda: Yes, they are light.

Amanda had been instructed, post C-section, not to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, and it seems that Ezri has internalized this, and showed concern for her Mama even when in the midst of a personal crisis. She’s a good kid.

Here Ezri is peeking through the double stroller at the spot where Ivan rides and at Meghan’s camera.

I love the expression on her face.

Sheep!

Goat!

Llama!

This is from a while ago, but fun.

This Saturday was so sunny and nice that we went out to the Jonamac Orchard in Malta.
We took Ivan in his wrap carrier and nursed him in the shade.
Ezri enjoyed apples, a hayride, her grandparents Liz & Harvey, the corn silo, and the petting zoo.
This was our second trip in what we hope will continue as an annual tradition.

It turns out Ezri is more of an apple eater than an apple picker.
She plonked down in the orchard and got right to work on an apple.

Here Ezri is posing with Grandma Liz as the infamous two-faced scarecrow.

I put Ivan out on his blanket and Ezri ran to the bedroom and got her pink blanket and came back to be put beside him.
