Tonight, Dylan tried coloring his hand-me-down stuffed animal named Isette (she’s a bear on ice skates, inherited from Auntie Christina).
Me: Dylan, are you coloring on Isette?
Dylan: yeahhh…
Me: color only on the easel. Isette’s not an easel, she’s a stuffed animal….
[no response…then starts coloring on Isette again]
Me: dyyylan. do we color on the easel…or on Isette?
[pause]
Dylan: [softly] Isette.
Oy vey.
