Ivo-Man






I LOVE that Ivo wants to wear his cape all over the place. You gotta respect a guy like that. In these pics Ivo maintains that he's Robin and "dis is my yellow cape."


These pics are from yesterday at D-man's new house. "H for Heather." has been in Ivo's repertoire for months - but Ivo's taken a renewed interest in letters. He's got a set (we got one for Kaia too - come see us Kaia!!!!) on the chalkboard that Kaiababa made him. He spends 20 minutes at a time arranging them and saying which letter is which and, to the best of his knowledge, words that they begin. B for Burl, R for Ryan, S for Sandy, I for Ivo, V for Ivo... He can recognize his name on tags on his school stuff and even when he sees I's elsewhere. Superfun.
Ivo makes accurate analogies and has an excellent memory. Yesterday when we left D-man's he was sad, I asked if he wanted to go to Finga's and he started talking about the one-eyed shark they've got! He hasn't been there for months. I can't think of analogies right now but will write them down next time I hear one.
Today was Ivo and Burl's 6th day of school, the second day that Ivo didn't cry and actually said he wanted to go. It goes like this: he tells us/me I no will go a school today then I remind him that D-man will be there and he tells me I wanna go to Baby World. Ivo hasn't told us much more about what goes down at school but he's willing to talk about it- he doesn't run out of the room when asked about it anymore - and he seems to like it. Ryan says he's happy when/to be picked up.
