She likes to say a rhyming word for what she is talking about.  Example:<br \/>\nEzri says, &#8220;I want to read a blook.&#8221;  I will ask, &#8220;Do you want to read a book?&#8221;  She will reply, &#8220;No, a blook I want to read a blook.&#8221;  I will ask, &#8220;What&#8217;s a blook?&#8221;  She will laugh.  Again she finds this hilarious &#8211; 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 &#8211; one of the most important pre-reading skills.  Still, Ezri, there&#8217;s no such thing as a blook.<\/p>\n<p>While waiting for our meal to come Ezri pointed at a picture of an ice cream sundae and said, &#8220;I want one of these for dessert.&#8221;  Eric told her we would be having dessert at home and dessert would be after bathtime.  Ezri asked the next logical question, &#8220;Does this restaurant have a bathtub?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t wear your shoe while my doll naps there.&#8221;  One of the dollhouse dolls has decided to sleep in my shoe.  I wonder how long it will be off limits.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2011\/12\/stylishknits.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2011\/12\/stylishknits-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"stylishknits\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2011\/12\/stylishknits-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2011\/12\/stylishknits-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2011\/12\/stylishknits.jpg 1883w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three little girls watch a passing train.
