Ezri Speaks

Ezri would love to share a sprinkle donut.

She will eat the top half with the chocolate and the sprinkles. You get the entire bottom half with no sprinkles.

Ezri talking about one of Ivan’s noise making toys:
“Turn it off. It is destroying me.”
Ezri is confused and uses the word destroy instead of disturb it’s cute.
“Amanda, Ivan is destroying me. Make him stop!”
“Stop saying that. You’re destroying me.”

“This is the rule of underwear party. If you’re not wearing underwear, you can’t come to the party.”

Thanks to Pinky Dinky Doo, a cartoon program, Ezri will now sometimes use the phrase “Yeserooni positooni!” to answer questions in the affirmative.
Me: Do you want to go to the park?
Ezri:Yeserooni Positooni!

Ezri falls into a classic little kid mistake when telling me about her preschool teachers.
Ezri: Mrs. Hall and Mrs.Paul have last names that rhyme AND they have the same first name.
me: Really?
Ezri: Yes, Mrs. and Mrs.! Paul and Hall!
(explanation of titles followed)

Ezri: Breaking the rules is FUN! (said while jumping off the couch)
Me: No, breaking the rules is time out.

Oh, for the love of the iPad (a collection of quotes)
Me: It’s time to put away the iPad. Do you want to play a game? Do you want to paint?
Ezri: I WANT iPad. I WANT iPad.
Me: Does asking like that ever get you what you’d like?
Ezri: May I please have the iPad?
Me: Nice asking, but it isn’t time for the iPad. Do you want to do a puzzle or paint?
Ezri: I want to paint a picture of the iPad. I want to paint a picture of watching Spider-man on the iPad.
Me: sigh.
We ended up painting a picture of Grover for her little brother.

“Grandma, grandma, let me show you MY iPad.” (You mean the i Pad Eric bought Amanda for her birthday, don’t you Ezri?)

“My Little iPad. .. ” sung to the tune of the My Little Pony themesong (Again, whose iPad are we talking about here?)

“Tomorrow I am the Star of the Day. That means I get to ring the bell when it’s clean-up time.” This is just an accurate description of what goes on at preschool, but I enjoy how excited Ezri is about “Star of the Day” status.
