"Apple"

Those of you who have seen Nicholas in the past few weeks will be shocked to hear that he no longer asks for crackers ad nauseam. In fact, he literally cried today when I gave him a graham cracker as a snack and proceeded to throw it on the floor.

Apparently crackers have been replaced by Nicholas' new favorite food. At least a couple dozen times a day he asks for an apple. You know when it is coming because he gets this look of excitment, anticipation, and hope on his face and then says a very clear if somewhat breathy "app-pa."

Except by "apple" Nicholas actually means grape. Red seedless grapes to be exact. I guess I can understand the confusion, but we've corrected him probably close to a hundred times over the past few days (I told you he asks for them a lot) and he recognizes when we say "grape" what we are referring to. But "apples" they remain. Oh well, we know what he means.
