Ivo and Burl were excellent car passengers this morning on our short trip into the mountains of Taichung County. Outside the city, the 7-11's have parking lots! Very nice. The drive we took was windy and steep. Great views. We took a break at some roadside cafe/footpath/small train place. It was nice but underwhelming; 100nt to enter for both adults, the train wasn't running and the cafe wasn't serving.
Still pretty, if a little muddy. One of Ivo's sandals got wet which upset and distracted him. Yesterday and today, he's been channeling Woody from toy story. He walks around in his sandals or bare feet saying, "I wearing boots. I have brown boots." He also says he's wearing a Woody hat. It's sweet. He calls Ryan Buzz Lightyear, Burl's the green dinosaur, and I'm the pig; "You da pig. 'Oink.' Yike dat." It's flattering...

"I do it myself." Whether it's activating automatic doors or trimming snap peas, Ivo-Dash-Spiderman-Woody "do it myself!"
Just so we can remember: Ivo has changed his pronunciation of computer from "pewter" to "pindu." Baffling and he won't be swayed. Also (and for a long time) Ivo will repeat himself until and unless Ryan and/or I repeat it back. This is cute. On the little-less-than-cute side is how Ivo will sometimes ask the same question dozens of times, receiving answers each time. His current favorite is "Burl sleeping?" We always answer but it somehow fails to staunch his curiosity.
