One popular model of child development describes birth-18 months as the trust vs. mistrust stage: children learn, through their interactions with their parents, rather to trust others or not. I was pretty confident until recently that Isaac was on the "trust" side of things.
But ever since our weekend grocery trip, he refuses to believe that the bag o' circular objects is onions. He insists that they're balls. Every morning during breakfast, he points to the counter where they are and demands, in increasingly desperate tones, "balls, balls." Why would his beloved Mama and Daddy withhold such splendors from him?
