On mother’s day we all sang to me and had cookies. We talked about father’s day next month and what we might do. Then Ezri asked, “When is Kids’ Day?” Asking Ezri what a Kids’ Day would have she thought there would be macaroni and cheese for dinner, special Kids’ Day cookies, and a trip to Westmont Yard where there are bouncy houses. I think we can make Kids’ Day happen.

“Do you remember the olden days before the iPad?” We’ve been talking a lot about inventions like the car, indoor plumbing, and electric lights. We’ve talked about how people didn’t used have those inventions which prompted Ezri to ask about the much loved iPad. Yes, Ezri, I remember 2009 just fine. It was the year you were born.

“What do people eat if they don’t eat food?” I had trouble figuring out how to answer that one.

After unwrapping a Hershey’s kiss and holding the small tissue flag Ezri asked, “Do I need to keep the receipt anymore?”

“I am scooting on my scooter. When I go too fast, I usually slow down.”

“Prepare to get PINK!” Running at me with her hands covered in pink sidewalk chalk dust.

“I am Water Girl and you are Dirt Woman.” Ezri was giving us superheroine names related to our tasks during the planting of containers. Just don’t the rest of you try to call me Dirt Woman.

While giving her baby dragon puppet a bottle (see photo above):
A: Look, it is Khal-Ezri, mother of dragons.
Ez: No, Big Sister of dragons actually.

Introducing Wonder Ezri. . .

Powers ACTIVATE

Yes, this Wonder Woman head piece was definitely $1 well spent. It brought more than $1 worth of joy to Wonder Ezri. She has her princess pony sidekicks in her hands.

In the afternoon while we worked on putting together an Avengers puzzle (also $1), Ezri kept commanding “Avengers Assemble.”

Can we take a picture to show Aunt Amy?
Here’s her “CHEESE” grimace.

It warms up and we head to the Children’s Garden with friends.

If you click on the acorn tag and get all the acorn posts, you can see her in this favorite spot across years.

Ezri wanted a beard like Eric this afternoon. Then we found his spare glasses. Voila! Mini-Eric is complete.

Here is Ezri with her class before the recital.

Here she is proud as all get out after the recital.

Ezri made a digital card for her Grandmothers for Mother’s day in an app on the iPad. She wrote the E and her name herself.
