The Ivan funnies vol.5


Mommy had some orange juice one morning and Ivan REALLY liked it. Here he is trying to drizzle every possible drop from the glass. He also checks the container for a possible refill source. You should see him with an empty yogurt container. It makes you wonder if the goodness of yogurt outweighs the inner stress it causes when Ivan finishes it. He takes the container and tries to stick his mouth in it (which always gets smears of yogurt on the bridge of his nose between his eyes). He puts his fingers down to the bottom in the hopes of finding more and almost figured out how to operate a spoon in his desperation. Then comes the really funny part. He lifts the container to me, gazes pleadingly into my eyes, does this screaming grunt thing and shakes his entire body. Perhaps you have seen other children do this aggressive full-body vibrating move. It's like your washer going crazy, only this is your little yogurt crazed child. All the while, I know he's trying to say "fix it mommy, it was so good. I don't know why it isn't coming out anymore, but there must be a way to get it to work again" I've even seen him checking our progress and getting anxious in advance... like "oh, no, it's happening again, there is less and less each time!"

Ivan was fiddling with the camera trying to press the buttons and, with some help, took his first picture. Ok, so he got quite a bit of help... but we think it came off quite nicely.

It's too cute!!! I'm feeling the same when my chocolat pudding is empty. But I know that there is no way to fix that, except...to get another one. *lol*
And it seems to me, even though with help, that he knows what is important to take pictures of: Saba. His food buddy. *g*

Can't you teach him to say "More, please!"
That would make a sentence.
Also, needs to learn to tell Saba, smile!
Although it does look like he already is for his
best friend. Probably because Ivan feeds him.
