Package Arrives

Ezri was fascinated that the box that came with the mail carrier was for her.

E – “What’s in it?”
Me – “I don’t know.
E – “Mama, scissors, let’s open it!”

Inside was a purse with kittens on it. She has filled this with marbles and small stuffed cats. Carrying it around makes her look so grown-up – like five instead of just two.

There were wall stickers. Ezri was excited to stick them on the wall. We had to do it immediately. We’ve also had to discuss how not all stickers are for putting on the wall – just the ones that came in our box.

Ezri had to carefully decide how to place her kitties.
She would say, “Here ya’ go, kitty. You will be cozy here,” as she stuck each one.
She reached on her tip-toes to place the highest of them.
Then she decided which color flowers each kitten needed and discussed how the flowers matched – often placing ones of the same color near each other.
Here is the finished design.

She then had to see how tall she was against her new kitty wall. At naptime she kissed the kitties good nap and after nap she said, “Wake up, kitties!”

By far the best thing in the box was a pair of feathers from Norbert, the parrot. Here they are:

She used them to turn avian saying, “Ezri is a bird. FLY! FLY!”
See, how they are wings.

Then she took them to Manchi cat and said, “Now, you can fly Manchi. FLY! FLY!”
Manchi was unimpressed.

In other bird-related hijinks, Ezri has not yet learned that running after the robins at the park excitedly saying, “Come back, robins. COME BACK!” will never actually result in the return of the robins.
