Ivo-Dash no like that all-body

That's right. Ivo-Dash was looking at pictures on the computer - he's a discriminating guy who coins words left and right. Allbody, nobody. It makes sense.

Yesterday, Ivo-Dash intentionally "tripped" over my outstretched legs. After each fall, he got up, held his arms out away from his body with his palms up and said "It just a mistake. Just a mistake." His arms bobbed up and down emphasizing his words. Hilarious.

Cuz of the rain and Ivo's cold of the last few days, we've been playing indoors a lot. We've been making subtle improvements in the toyroom which we've been enjoying. In the pics Ivo is saying "dinosaur-row eating the leaves" while raising the dinosaur's neck up.

When playing with toys with faces, he usually conducts some kind of narration, and often voices an entire dialog on the fly. The other day - and so far this has happened only once, he had Spiderman and the Green Goblin yelling, "I kill you! You no kill me!"

Ivo knows that some animals kill and eat others (he hasn't realized that he's among them). Ivo knows/says that we kill mosquitos and ants. He's used the words die/died - cuz we've seen dead gekkos and in movies (do writers of kiddie movies have so little imagination? It's nice, wholesome - kill off a character, kids have to learn that death is nothing you can't rewind!).

Ivo also plays make-believe. He informs me of this while in character. So, he pulls a weird face, talks thru his teeth and says, "Who I am? I Spiderman. Going a fighting AppleJuice Man." I just figured out today, AppleJuiceMan is Octopus Man. Ivo was really happy to be understood - even when talking funny. When he's finished being a character he tells me using his regular voice.
