I casually mentioned something about LATER when we go to school, Ivo said, I no will go a school. No. I stay home - talk a you.
Which reminds me how "a" is the catch-all preposition: talk a you, reach a sky...
While eating his peanut-butter bagel Ivo said, "I so fast! Like Clark Kent fast." Ivo's been saying a lot of maybes lately. "Maybe he Buzz Lightyear." "Maybe it a plane." "Maybe a monster." "Maybe it a ambulance.'
Today I'm wearing a skirt and Ivo said, "Ah! You wearing girl clothes!" I said yep, I'm wearing a skirt. He looked at his Surf's Up Rooster which has a coconut shell bikini and said, "He wearing boobies."
Yesterday at Carre Four - we went to play and shop - Ivo bought a Boots doll. Boots is a monkey and Dora the Explorer's best friend. This Boots doll was something I was gonna try to lose by the time we hit the check out counter. But it was IMPOSSIBLE. Ivo carried it the whole time. Usually he'll ask me to hold something or just put it in the cart by himself. Anyway, Ivo really LOVES this Boots doll and has watched Dora a couple times since we got home yesterday. Which reminds me to say that Ivo will be Boots, Benny, Swiper - any of the male characters - but will never be Dora, even though he loves her. Ivo assigns me Dora. I can be boys - sometimes concessions are made; "You girl Buzz Lightyear." But Ivo will never assign or accept himself as a girl charachter or a boy-girl charachter.
Also Ivo sings all the Dora songs.
I just told Ivo that we're gonna go in ten minutes. He said, "Where we going?" I told him school and he got sad, flirted with crying. He said, "I want go Toy Store(y)... Poor guy. "I want see Papa..."
