Just as she was about to be 21 months, Ezri started declaring her age to be 20 months.
Enough people at the park and toddler classes have asked her age, that she learned the answer with no explicit teaching.
I was quite surprised when a mom at toddler tumbling asked how old Ezri was and she looked up and said, “Twenty months.”
Of course, it may be hard to re-train her that the answer is now “Twenty-one months.”
Other Ezri observations this week:
“Bagel Peel”
Ezri identified a banana peel and then pointed to the crust cut off her toast and declared it to be a bagel peel. Note that all bread eaten at breakfast time is referred to as “bagel” by Ezri.
Kitty t-shirt peekaboo
Ezri lifted the covers over the graphic of the kitty on my t-shirt and said, “Where is Kitty?” Then she pulled the covers down and said, “There he is!”
Rockabye Megamind
Ezri put her toy of Megamind (blue superhero from current movie picked up in airport happy meal) in her sweatshirt’s kangaroo pocket and twisted her hips from side-to-side singing, “Rockabye Megamind. . .”
Hedgehog Stuffed Animal Shaking Game that was made up on the fly and is now requested
“Shake your hedgehog! Shake your hedgehog! Yeah-Yeah!” to the tune of Shake Your Groove Thing.
“There’s a dinosaur on your arm on your arm” a very fun game to play with small plastic toys and parts of Ezri. As a bonus it is playable in vehicles, restaurants, and airplanes. She will spontaneously sing this one with an object in the backseat. I heard “There’s a baby on my arm, on my arm” on our last drive with her baby doll.

Note: This is a posed picture, meaning that Ezri will now (sometimes) actually pose for a picture when asked.
i think instead of ‘twenty-one’ months, you guys should start telling her she is ‘almost 2’ as that can work for the next three months and not just one :D.
That grin is obviously fake, but it’s so adorable.
Ah — adorable is this word!
