Ivo and Burl Groundhog Day






Burl, Ivo, Gail and I went to the breakfast shop and the park this morning. Taichung is feeling a little quiet, a little empty. Gail said she feels like she's seeing less ubiquitous smoking... like not so much driving a scooter and smoking. Then she thought, maybe cuz it's cold (15-18C) - that's probably what's happening. People are inside and when they're out they're not dilly-dallying with a cig...

Ivo Overheard:


  • "Bender da best robot and Superman da best hero!"

  • "I want some ice cream. I NEED sooome! I NEED SOOOME!!!"

  • "Uh, Papa? You gotta come down and talk a me."

Sadly, Ivo is still intentionally running into Burl or giving him a shove in passing, which usually results in Burl falling down. But, happily, Ivo is discovering more mutually entertaining ways to play with Burl; they talk back and forth mimicking each other's sounds, they chase, they run into each other to bao bao, they can look at books together a bit and they can play along side each other pretty well.

Ryan took these great pics from in and around the Taipei Children's Recreation Center on 29 Jan. When we arrived, it was sunny and warm. As we were leaving the sky turned dark and dramatic. We stayed ahead of the rain though.
