spider... fuzzy... dirt... bug... crumbs... fly...

ok, so for probably the last 2 - 3 months raegan has been freaking out about anything that even remotely resembles a bug/piece of dirt/crumb... it started out with spiders. anytime she saw anything that moved (even dust in a ray of sunshine), she would flip out and start yelling/crying, 'spider, spider!' well, one time i corrected her (she had a piece of fuzz on her finger when she flipped out this time) and told her it was just a fuzzy. then she moved on to yelling, 'spider, fuzzy, spider, fuzzy...' whenever she saw something moving. after a couple of weeks of calling everything a fuzzy (even real bugs), i corrected by telling her that what was on her hand was dirt. she only called the things she saw 'dirt' for about a day, then we say an actual bug and for the next week or so after that everything was a 'bug' or 'buggy'... then one day we were eating cinnamon toast for breakfast and there were crumbs on the table. once again she flipped out and i told her it was just crumbs, so she started calling everything 'crumbs'. even in the pool at june mackay's all the little floating bugs were crumbs for the first few she saw, but i corrected her and told her they were flies... so, at this point in her little life, whenever she sees something moving in the air (fuzz, dirt, flies, what have you) she says 'bug, buggy, fly'... whenever she sees something that is stuck to her hands (dirt, crumbs, little rocks, sand) she calls it 'crumbs'. maybe one day she will get it right.
