Ezri speaks

Here we are playing with the remote control robot I got for my birthday. His name is Hyjax. Ezri declares him to be “a good friend robot.” He’s great for her working on fine motor control and problem solving. Ivan likes to track him with his eyes. He does a cool robot spinny dance that I like to mimic. The cats – well, they have their own ideas about what a mini robot might be good for.

Here’s another collection of quotes by and spoken to Ezri.

“It looks like moose antlers.”
That was a toilet training comment. I am noticing many of this collection of quotes relate to the potty. You can tell what skills we are working on around here.

“Stop saying THAT! Stop saying that, mama. Say normal things that don’t make me cry.”
Ezri on my telling her repeatedly that it was her poor behavior had cut our expedition short.

Eric to Ezri when she was pulling at her pants, “Do you need to use the potty? Oh, no, you just still have a ladybug in your pants.” Ladybug in question was a plastic finger puppet.

Another parenting quote, this time from me. “Okay, Super Rainbow Flower Girl, you need to take your cape off to use the potty.” She had on rainbow striped pants, a floral shirt and a cape and had given herself the name “Super Rainbow Flower Girl.”

“I want to go to the red spiral place with the dot inside.” It took me awhile to figure out that she wanted to go browse Target. She knows the logo, but doesn’t remember the store’s name.
