Cookies

A month or so ago at nap time, Evan told me he wanted his cookies.  I told him he can't have cookies in bed and that maybe he could have one when he woke up.  He got pretty upset and kept saying, I want my cookies, I want my cookies.  I finally just left the room with him screaming.  A few minutes later I realized it was really quiet, so I went to check on him.  He had gotten out of bed and put ALL his stuffed animals in bed with him.  I started putting some of them back and he again started in on the I want my cookies.  For some reason, he was calling the stuffed animals cookies...Who knows why!  The this last weekend, we went to the Bird Aviation and Invention Museum and Gary bought Evan a little plastic bi-plane.  He is now calling that his cookie.  We still can't figure out why he is doing this, but it sure is funny. 

The fact is, Evan likes to call all kinds of things by different names.  Like today, all cars and trucks are fire trucks.  Yesterday all cars and trucks were tractors.  :)
