Ezri speaks

Even though Ezri is a tall 2, she’s not quite tall enough for this hoop yet.

Here are some collected Ezri comments & quotes of the last few days.

Speaking about the kitten and flower wall stickers stuck on the wall next to her bed right after a nap:
“Kittens wake up! Flowers don’t. Flowers no eyes.”

Speaking about the fact that Julia was wearing a fancy party dress, I was wearing a plain blue jersey dress, and she was wearing a patterned jumper dress.
“Julia dress! Ezri dress! Mama dress! MATCH-MATCH-MATCH!”
Yup. She hit the trifecta there.

On her in utero baby brother and the household no kicking rule:
Me: Ezri, do you want to feel the baby kicking?
Ezri: Baby no kick. No kick, mama. No kicking. Why he kick you? Why?

Conversation at Fourth of July fireworks after Ezri asking “Why is it dark?” “Why no climbing?” “Why is my ice cream gone?” “Why are you sitting there?” “Why are there fireworks?” Oh and by the way, “Why is it dark?” And generally asking why after any statement made by her parents.
Amanda: Did you know you are exasperating?
Ezri: What is exasperating?
Amanda: You are.
Ezri: Why am I exasperating?
parental laughter follows

Ezri has decided she doesn’t like the yolk of a hardboiled egg, though the white is GREAT.
Ezri: I eat the white. Mama eat the egg yuck.
Me: It’s egg YOLK.
Ezri: No, it’s yuck. Egg Yuck.
So, she’s a punster.

On July 6 speaking about the baby due Sept. 2: I am not sure how she put this all together, but I was impressed with this comment on the future and the sweetness of her wanting to show the new baby the ropes.
“Next time we go to the fireworks I will hold the baby’s hand in the parking lot.”
