Ezri speaks

Three little girls watch a passing train.

Here are some more Ezri quotes I’ve collected.

“I am a flying dog and I poop.”

“Put that baby down! I want you, mama.” Sometimes being the big sister is rough.

I asked Ezri what she had for dinner and she said,
“Turtlelini”
She recognized this was a pun and preceded to laugh her head off. “Turtle-turtle-turtle-lini.”

Ezri is big into rhyming lately. She likes to say a rhyming word for what she is talking about. Example:
Ezri says, “I want to read a blook.” I will ask, “Do you want to read a book?” She will reply, “No, a blook I want to read a blook.” I will ask, “What’s a blook?” She will laugh. Again she finds this hilarious – just like turtle-lini. I find it cute or if it goes on long enough irritating as all get out. Though as a trained literacy professional, I recognize that rhyming is all part of developing phonological awareness – one of the most important pre-reading skills. Still, Ezri, there’s no such thing as a blook.

While waiting for our meal to come Ezri pointed at a picture of an ice cream sundae and said, “I want one of these for dessert.” Eric told her we would be having dessert at home and dessert would be after bathtime. Ezri asked the next logical question, “Does this restaurant have a bathtub?”

“You can’t wear your shoe while my doll naps there.” One of the dollhouse dolls has decided to sleep in my shoe. I wonder how long it will be off limits.
