Ivo called it Funday

After the gym this morning Ivo, Burl and I met Karin for a snack and a search for Spiderman shirts. We had bookended success. At the first shop we found one that looks good but says "Sport Man" and "Middle." It's made of crushed-up dinosaur parts - not comfy or good for skin. But I figure Ivo can wear it in a/c. The last shop was packed with glorious bright recognizable characters including 5 different Spiderman shirts. We were so excited. Alas, the shopkeep informed us that his is a wholesale, not retail, establishment. Karin asked him, ok-who do you sell to so we can buy from them. He wouldn't tell us. It was strange and heartbreaking. Ivo doesn't know from wholesale... and there are all the shirts right in front of our faces. Finally, the guy relented and sold us one. I'd asked if I could buy five - Ivo's friends all have the spidey bug too. He wouldn't do it. So, we're lucky to have it but sad too.

Taking a break at 85 coffee. He took the pic of Karin and me. Also, does anyone know how to clean mango smoothie off the carpet floor of the car? I'd taken out the liner last week cuz Ivo spilled sunscreen all over it...

Baby-Burl is getting more and more proficient at sucking his skinny little thumb. These 2 pics are from last night.

After rest time (Ivo slept 10 minutes in the car), Ivo played with Papa and then we went to the park. Ivo was soooo excited about his Spiderman shirt. Ryan lifted him up to the mirror and Ivo kept checking out the sleeves and holding the shirt front out in front of himself, like he really couldn't believe it. He was so proud and pleased. He wanted to go to the park, we think, to show off his new shirt.

Ivo's such a good, patient, smart, sweet guy. Initially when he wanted to go, Ryan told him later (baseball). And he just accepted that. He told me "Ivo-Dash go park later."
