The store only had two pairs of shoes in his size. They were both green. These were the ones that were “more comfortable AND more green.”
Ivan is very excited. “I am going to be on A TEAM. A TEAM!” He is also pretty sure he’ll be good. As he says, “I am a very good kicker and you kick in soccer.”
The kids were very excited to have dinner with ALL THE GRANDPARENTS.
Ivan was sad to learn that Tam and Mark had already gone to airport when he woke up, but expressed that he was glad they got to play videogames with him while they were here and some dismay that they don’t have a console in Bozeman at their house. Tam does have her iPad there which she could put games on.
“C’mon, Ivan!”
Rain boots are best.
Puddles
Ivan is pleased with this application of his dad’s talents.
He used to fall asleep in the car all the time in the afternoon, but not in recent years.
Illness has knocked him out.
He’s missed 3 days of school this week.
He ate a cookie and then declared he was too tired and sick to eat his other cookie.
He was not too sick to play video games with his family. He said,”I would be in the emergency room, if I was that sick.”
I think he’d at least be at the pediatrician if he was that sick.

Ivan gets close to that cake awaiting his slice
He was very sweet about giving some of HIS cookies to me and to his sister.

Ivan speaking on his future plans.
I may have to go to school for a long time because I want to have so many jobs. I want to be a builder and build Ezri a clinic for when she’s a vet. When I’m an ice cream truck driver everyone in my family will get one ice cream a day for free because I will still need to make money so only one. When I am in space going to Mars, Ezri will watch my cats for me. I will have four cats named Manchi, Ellie, Sushi, and Guido. I will be the first person to step on Mars.
Ezri then proposed that she could learn to sew space suits for the cats so that they could travel with him because it takes a long time to get to Mars and they would miss Ivan while he was in space.
Ivan wanted holes in the suits for their whiskers and tails and space leashes to take them on walks.
Ivan is giving me a “monkey hug.”
