Burl, Ivo and I went to the Science Museum - Caves area this morning. We had a little picnic and played in the water.
Unbelievably, Burl never fell or slipped. His pants got wet cuz he MEANT to sit in the water. After I told him NO, he refrained from sitting. Next time I'll remember his crocs (from Mary).
Burl was snacking on little sweet "ball cookies." When he wanted one, he pointed and said, "Da!" I love his little pointing fist. He has now shifted to using his index finger not his middle finger for pointing.
Before we left the house this morning, the boys and I cleaned up and vacuumed. Afterwards, Ivo sat at the big table playing with his train set. Burl brought over a bamboo stool to stand on so he could play/interfere too. Ivo nicely - but in great distress - told Burl "NOOOOOO!!!!!" I was cleaning the bathroom, so I popped out and moved Burl and the stool. Immediately, Burl went and got the stool, brought it back, placed it next to Ivo's chair and started, "TOUCHING MY TWAAAAIIIN!!!!!" This happened a couple more times, me moving and trying to distract Burl from Ivo and Burl plugging away towards his goal of playing with Ivo - or at least with Ivo's stuff - on the table. Eventually, Ivo screamed, "OWWWW! HE BITING ME!!!!" Burl had finally had enough of working so hard and not getting to play, so he left a perfect circular set of teeth marks on Ivo's forearm. Ivo was still nice to Burl about the whole thing, though in a very sad and hurt voice he moaned "You dammit Burly!!!" I have put our bamboo stools high up and away.
Ivo had 2 self-initiated pees this morning! The first was while he was still in his overnight diaper... he told me he wanted to pee in the toilet. This is great! He no longer automatically pees in his diaper and he doesn't want to. At the park, sitting and playing near the running water fountain, Ivo had an accident. No big whoop - Ivo says that now!
Ivo narrates his action-hero play, "It showtime!" Also, when he's playing with his spiderman dolls, he describes spiderman, in sentences lifted from the spiderman theme song. He often tells me about spiderman's abilities and proclivities by reciting individual lines from the song. Cute.
"My name is Ivo. I live in Canada. I punch da big guy. I 'fraid da big waves." Ivo says this as if he's being interviewed for a documentary... a la Surf's Up.
Google/Blogger claims to be aware of the video-embed problem. I assume that means they're working on it. Here are 3 supercute vids of super cute Burl.
