Meet Harry and Toot

This morning, after his snack, Joseph sat on the bar stool and watched me while I worked on a craft project. At some point, he stuck his thumb in his mouth and started sucking on it.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm kissing my finger."

"Looks more like you're sucking your thumb."

"It's not a thumb, it's my finger."

"Yes, but that particular finger is called a 'thumb'."

"NO! Its. A. Finger!"

I held up my hand. "Look...each finger has a first name." I pointed each out. "This is Pinkie. This is Ring. This is Middle. This is Pointer. And this is Thumb."

"Oh." He stared at his fingers and then pointed to his pinkie. "This is Harry." He pointed to his ring finger. "And this is Toot."
