Ezri speaks

Photo of breakfast on the day it was “superhero day” at school.

Another collection of Ezri’s words and conversations:

Argument over which imaginary paint to use on the imaginary rocket ship they were building and painting.
e: No, IVAN! It’s rainbow on the outside. Rainbow paint!
i: No, I’m painting red -RED! RED!
e: IVAN, NOOOOOOOO!

“Ivan, tonight for special you can sleep with both Magics.”
Magic is a small plush unicorn from a happy meal and we have two of them and they both belong to Ezri, but she shares the magic.

“Pretend you are a ninja turtle and just relax. Just relax. I am going to put your shell on you.”  Ezri putting an inflatable life vest on Ivan.

“I am really good at math.  I think about it when I’m on the potty.  That’s how I got so good.”  After explaining that Ivan will be half her age when she turns 6.  And how he was half her age when she was 4 and he was 2.  And she was pretty sure that when she turned 8, he would be 4.  We figured out together that, while she would always be older than Ivan, he will not always be half her age.

Eric asked Ezri what she thought they should buy for Amanda for a Christmas present and this is what she said,
“I think we should ask her what she really wants and then get that.” If that wasn’t the plan she thought maybe I’d like wings that fold up small on my back and can be unfurled so I can fly.
