- Ivo can say: poo-poo, pee-pee/niao-niao. He is becoming more and more aware of his "processes" and happily narrates them, when he thinks of it. He's interested in the toilet and often agrees to try it out for size!
- In a related note, Ivo can say "cho cho" which means stinky
- Today, Ivo said "Shadow" the name of Mike's dog whom Karin is taking care of for a few weeks
- When Ivo sees Karin, he says "mao" and holds both arms out like he's asking where they (the cats) are. He also said "Karin" today
- When Ivo sees Sho (or the phone rings) he says "Sho" and a second later, "juju"
- At the gym today, Ivo said "Dylan" tho this isn't the first time...
- Ivo says "wawa" for water, "ju" for juice, "noo-noo" for noodles
- Ivo throws and kicks balls like a guy twice his age, he can almost catch
- When Ivo throws a ball, he often says "good throw!"
- When Ivo jumps, he often says "good jump!"
- He nods and shakes his head appropriately
- He starts a verbal opposites game by saying "yo" to which I respond, "mei yo" and he repeats "yo" etc... If I switch to saying "yo" he switches to "mei yo"
Do I think he's a genius? Yes!
Today we went to the new Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium in advance of the tournament that starts on 9 Nov - We got to watch the Cuban team practicing. It was cool and Ivo got to meet one of the coaches! It's pretty nice - comfortable seats (each and every one bearing a sticker advertising the chair-maker's company - a little tacky). Unlike the artist's rendering on the wikipedia link, there is no seating in the outfield and no cover over the seats. Overall, it's nice, but has an unfinished feel - no landscaping around it, the only workers around were construction or cleaners... no concessions or shops (my favorite features of ballparks!). Next time I'll bring my camera. Here's the schedule.
In the mean time these are some pics of Ivo from the weekend 4-5 Nov.
