Two stories of mistaken identity, courtesy of Luke:
1. Luke has a light green froggie blanket that he loves very much. When his sisters bring it to him, he squeals and kicks with delight. When I take it away from him, he cries, although he is learning that he needs to give it to me during dinner even though he doesn't want to. The other day Luke was helping me do laundry (clinging to my leg as I attempted to sort clothes and move them from washer to dryer... He's a Big BIG help =) Suddenly, Luke got very excited. He crawled through the piles of laundry, grabbed something lime green and held it up to his face---only to find out it was his sister's "Funky Kitty" pajama top. He was first shocked, as though he couldn't believe this terrible thing was happening to him---someone turned his froggy into pajamas! Then he was mad. We went to find his real froggy, which made him much happier.
2. This morning I was getting breakfast together, and the box of cheerios found its way to the floor where Luke was sitting. He recognized the box (I always feel that the younger a child has to be to recognize the logo, the better the logo is). He was clearly hungry, but instead of reaching inside the box, he tried to grab the cheerios from the picture on the outside of the box. Poor boy! The ones on the outside are much bigger than the ones on the inside, after all.
It is interesting to remember how frustrating the world can be when you don't understand most of it. He's pretty happy over all, despite that (and very amusing).
