We’ve been working on a few of Will’s big confusions: milk versus water (leche vs. agua) and the fact that all vegetables are not peas. So far, it’s not been a great success. An example: tonight’s dinner, which included corn.
The scene:
Will is climbing into his high chair as he sees me cooking corn. Immediately he pipes up, “PEAS!”
“Will, this is corn. Corn can be many colors but we usually eat it when it is yellow. It grows on a cob and is surrounded by a husk. Corn. Maiz. Corn. Corn. Maiz.”
“PEAS!”
“Corn. Maiz. Corn.”
“Peas. Peas. Peas…. PEAS!”
And repeat. Repeat. Repeat. And repeat. It would be more maddening if he weren’t so darn cute the whole time.
