Ivo holds Burl

Ivo often asks to hold Burl. He's pretty patient about it too. Usually the holding is mediated by a couple pillows - Burl's a big baby!

The holding lasts about 2 minutes maximum. Pretty quickly, Ivo starts grimacing and squirming, "Mama hold Burl."

Burl's shirt says, "I didn't do it." The silliness of it cracks me up. Paul sent it to Ivo when he was born - so it's been cracking me up for years. Burl doesn't do anything to deny, can't read, doesn't comprehend the words. He doesn't even know he's wearing a shirt or sporting a motto. He's not in on the joke. Maybe that's why I'm so stuck on it - it's perverse!
