This month for the first time I forgot to try for a photo of Ezri and monkey-monkey on the 11th. I thought about it at some point during the day, but it was a busy Saturday of being out & about and it got lost in the shuffle.
Ezri is clearly more active in her play with monkey-monkey these days. She sent him down the slide and let him ride on her tricycle while we sang the Queen song Bicycle Race substituting in “tricycle” for “bicycle” in the lyrics. She now joins us on various of the songs her parents have co-opted to be part of her day. “Swing High Sweet Ezri Blau” to the tune of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. “It’s New Diaper Time” which I think is to the tune of “It’s Tail Whipping Time” from Biker Mice. “L-U-N-C-H” to tune of BINGO. “It’s Breakfast Time” to the tune of Business Time from Flight of the Conchords. “When I say, ‘pants,’ Ezri Beatrice, you best pants,” to the Violent Femmes tune. We sing Rubber Ducky in the bathtub along with singing “Bathtime, Ezri, bathtime, what kind of kid likes Ezri Bathtime” to an Armour Hotdog jingle. I like to think that in Ezri’s mind these songs are what all children hear with their families during their days.

the L-U-N-C-H song? I love the LUNCH song.
I remember upon leaving DGPL saying I would miss the L-U-N-C-H song in our office and Eric saying, “You could sing it for Ezri.” And now I do!
Oh, Ezri — you now have more hair than monkey-monkey — yeah!
I love that I was sitting here singing the Pippa Sif song to Pippa Sif (to the tune of Mna Mna of course) when I read this post. (: Your songs are awesome.
Made up songs are the best! No one understands my made up songs anymore.
Oh, I love you guys.
