Abstract Concepts
Upon reading bedtime stories to Jam, I've noticed something very interesting. Either he has a tremendous imagination, or he's having a slight bit of a problem with the whole book thing. We were reading a book about a train and there was a big photograph of a train heading right towards us. Jam yelled in my ear "Watch out, the train is coming." Okay, that wasn't so strange. Next book had tons of pics of food. He pointed to a girl eating an ice cream cone and he began "I want that, I want that now, take it out." I'm explained to him that it was just a picture, and he was not going to take it out of the page to eat it. He didn't like that. He turned the page. There were jelly beans. Okay, note to self, I've got to find a different bedtime book. This was getting ridiculous. "I want that, take it out." Hmm...not again. Mudd sighed...I'm totally with you, buddy.

My little boy does that sometimes too. Just pretend you're taking it out and pretend put it in his mouth. It's like a little game for my 3-yr old now.
We do the same thing as Gabriela, only it's fake candy in the palm of my hand. I think they like to have us be silly with them.
Oh my gosh! That is so funny!
Been there, done that and I miss it. They are not able to tell the difference between fantasy and reality at that age. Of course, when I couldn't produce the desired jelly bean/ice cream/etc. the child would occasionally trip over into a tantrum. Some books I did avoid at bedtime!
That is funny and cute! Its something I'd never think about!
Chalk it up to imagination...Funny how their little minds work.
I'm with you, though - I'd probably be tucking that particular book under the mattress for a while. :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog...I like yours and I'll be back!
Lol... that's cute! Kind of like when my newly 4 yr. old tells someone on the phone to "look" at something, becasue he doesn't realize they can't see him!
