Burl is sleeping. Ivo and Ryan out running errands including; purchase of an ice scraper and a snow shovel.
There is snow on the ground. There is water on the ground. It is dark, but definitely daytime.
Ivo has got washing dishes down – he is thorough and joyful about it. Mostly, however, he is whimsically scientific.
I am currently NOT dusting, vacuuming or making beds so that Ivo can take part. Yea, that’s why I’m not doing that junk!
We had a very meaty Korean dinner last night. Fun. Ryan and I are not, however, accustomed to that quantity of meat with so little (zero, excepting kimchi) vegetables!
Burl is on day 6 of a very high dosage of amoxycillan due to an ear infection that came on during the flu (likely) - piggy (possibly) – he began symptom-exhibiting on Tuesday13 Oct. We took him to the outpatients on Saturday because it seemed like too long not to have kicked the fever. And good thing too,because, thanks to the media, I am unaware of any other possible health concernthere might could be. Totally. Unaware.
Yes, apparently, 2 year olds who don’t tug at their ears or in any other way communicate ear discomfort, are still susceptible to ear infections. Not all fever and flu-like symptoms are the provenance of piggy flu.
I forgot about the opportunistic bacteria.
Anyway, Burl has also recently –over the last month, certainly – made several linguistic leaps. His inflection, joke-telling, fooling games and silliness with language are all DE-lightful. He loves talking about letters, he knows most of them by name, he knows all the colors – he has recently admitted of other favorite colors besides green. He currently “Also like blue.” He is mostly potty-trained. He loves puzzles these days as well as posing for pictures. He grabs things or positions saying “YOINK!” He yoinks things. He says “I love you” a lot and gives copious kisses and hugs. He takes one’s face firmly between his two hands, turns one’s head to the proper angle, and plants one. Kiss.
When ever anyone leaves the house, Ivo and Burl run to the window to wave and blow kisses. Ivo asks which way you’re going, right or left, to town or to Grammie’s… to determine which window in the house affords the best view.
I started this post over the weekend. It is now Tuesday and I've only just finished uploading all the videos! More asap.
