I opened the Amazon product page for the yoga mats I decided to buy for the toddlers, and turned it to Middle Child.
"M, what color do you want?" I, for one, was super excited. He frowned at me.
"Watch Thomas."
"Yes, I know you're going to watch Thomas. But first, what color do you want?"
He frowned and pointed at the tv. "Watch. Thomas."
"Yes, watch Thomas. What color do you want?" I held the computer up so he could point. Which he did, saying, "Square!"
"Very good, M - that is a square. But what color square?"
"Black!"
"Black? Really?" In my mind I'm thinking, wow, you are mine!
"No, no black."
"Oh, what color?"
"Yellow!"
"There is no yellow. Do you mean green?"
"PURPLE!"
"Great! Purple!"
"No purple."
"M, what color?"
"Orange square."
"Orange, then?"
"No. Yellow."
"Ok, do you mean the yellow-green?"
"Green."
"Do you want a green one?"
He looked me straight in the eye and very definitively said, "Yes."
My sister-in-law laughed at this point and said, "I think that's an answer!"
So we went with the olive green.
Big One was easier. He took one look and shouted "blue!" and went back to his lunch.
M did perfect his downward-facing dog tonight.
