Pumpkin

We were making waffles for breakfast this morning. Well, not exactly making them, but toasting them in the toaster oven. As they were toasting, I was helping Madelyn decide which plate she'd like to use for her breakfast. Of course I had to take the opportunity to throw a little lesson in there about colors, too.

Madelyn had two choices-a green plate or an orange one.

"Mommy, I want this one."

"And what color is that?"

"Green."

"Nice job."

"And what color is this one?"

"Blue."

"No Madelyn, it's the same color as a pumpkin. Orange."

So let's review.

"What color is this one?"

"Green."

"And what color is this one?"

"Pumpkin."
