Willful and Wonderful

Ezri knows the rules now, but sometimes she can’t help but break them in her toddler exuberance.
We tickle and cuddle in the parents’ bed sometimes. The rule is no standing on the bed.
Ezri will stand up on the bed and shout with glee, “Sit Down, Please!”
She will be giving a warning.
Ezri will stand up again and say, “Ezri stand!”
Tonight at this point Ezri was told she had broken the rule and had to leave the bedroom and play elsewhere. This made her most upset she rolled around on the floor saying something Eric and I could not figure out, “Ezri tantomb. Ezri tantomb.” Eric got it before me. Ezri was letting us know that this rolling around was Ezri having a tantrum. I didn’t think it had gotten to what I would call tantrum stage, but I sure thought it was endearing that she was letting me know it had.

This photo is one more reason to love Trader Joe’s and why it can be hard to get Ezri out of the store without a “tantomb.”
