Then no poop on the car, no poop on the windshield.<br \/>\n<em>I explained that it would be hard to diaper all birds.<\/em><br \/>\nEzri: Well, we could make a bird potty.  I know how to use the potty. I will teach them.<br \/>\n<em>Ezri is gonna potty train <strong>all birds<\/strong> everywhere.  I love the problem solving here.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Words that are adorable when spoken by Ezri<br \/>\nwarthog<br \/>\nsquirrel<br \/>\nwhirlpool<br \/>\nThe vowel and &#8220;R&#8221; combination is a tricky sound and she doesn&#8217;t quite have it yet.<\/p>\n<p>Me: That is the Snake River.<br \/>\nEzri: Does it have snakes in it?<br \/>\nMe: No, it&#8217;s named for it&#8217;s shape. It is shaped like a snake.<br \/>\nEzri: Does it have crocodiles in it?<br \/>\nMe: No, no crocodiles.<br \/>\nEzri: Does it have sharks in it?<br \/>\nMe: Nope, no sharks either.<br \/>\nI guess that the Snake River is not as exciting as the name might&#8217;ve have indicated to Ezri.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of superhero play around here.  <\/p>\n<p>Ezri: I am Batgirl.<br \/>\nEric: Who am I?<br \/>\nEzri: You are Batman.  You are my assistant.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;DALEK!  I am going to fight you with my sword, but first I am going to put on my underwear and clothes.&#8221;<br \/>\nDr. Who is obviously a superhero.  Ivan was a mini-Dalek who according to Ezri turned good and said, &#8220;Exterminate we are the good Daleks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Eric made us a secret lair in the backyard out of pruned limbs from our aggressive shrubbery.  Unfortunately, Ezri told us that we gave GPS&#8217;s to the bad guys with our secret lair&#8217;s location, so they found us. We are considering relabeling our home address &#8220;secret lair&#8221; in our GPS.<\/p>\n<p>Playing with a friend in her room. I hear Ezri say with conviction, &#8220;We are naked spies.&#8221;  Ezri then emerged wearing only underwear.  Her friend had on only over-sized sunglasses.  We tried to think of places they could infiltrate:  Nudist colony, Onsen (Japanese baths), Life drawing class, really wild night of Mardi Gras &#8211; really no end to work for the naked spies.  I think it has possibilities as a future HBO show.<\/p>\n<p>Batman, Batgirl and Spider-man hanging in the secret lair:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/secretlair.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/secretlair-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"secretlair\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/secretlair-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/secretlair-767x1024.jpg 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Clean as a whistle.
