Pics from Connell Park...
When you move from Asian Urban Tropics to N.American Rural Temperate, there's a big change in air quality. Everything is different about what we're breathing and it's affecting our noses and skin quite a bit. It's like how smokers don'tmind the pollution in Taiwan as much as nonsmokers and how when you quit smoking, you cough more and feel worse. Here, in N.america, my nose has been killing me - so dry, so uncomfortable... And after a week, not abating, so I went to the store and got some Secaris. I've used it for Burl too, cuz he seems to have similar issues as I've got.
Burl's been saying: up, down, no-no-no (with a wagging finger). He's been pointing like crazy - communicating up a storm. He wants to hear everyone's names including his own, often pointing to Grammie Gail, then himself, then Ivo, then himself, then Ryan, then back to Burl. He giggles. He points to yogurt when he has an apple to tell us he wants a bowl of yogurt for dipping.
Ivo's starting to say "may i..." and "it not working out." He and Burly got fishing poles the other day and Ivo can already cast and wind up his line. He's reading about 3 books a night
in his bed before falling asleep.
in his bed before falling asleep.We are starting Burl in his own bed for at least a few hours a night. Very exciting. Both boys are eating great and lots!
I'm so tired. More soon.
Oh yea, Ryan bought a car today!!! We will be taking a poll to see what color people think it is - Ryan says gray, Doug says tan/mauve.
