What Ezri says

It is no longer possible to record everything Ezri says in a morning. So, this morning I just selected some phrases. For comparison, here’s my recording of everything she said in two hours in late December. She’s getting even chattier with more full sentences and proper pronoun use. She’s also remembering a lot of things that have happened previously and commenting on them. As, opposed to just speaking about her immediate environment. She tells more mini-narratives now too.

Late December 2011
