Milk

Gray calls all liquids "milk".  He calls his water in his water cup "milk".  When we go to Sonic to pick me up a drink, he calls it "Mama's Milk".  When Brian has a beer in the evening, he calls it "Daddy's Milk".  When it's rained and there is a puddle, he calls it milk.  He even called the waterfall on our last hike milk.

Gray used to love milk (I nursed him just passed his 2nd birthday - kind of scary).  But after he got the stomach bug this fall, we stopped giving him milk for about a week because his diarrhea would not clear up.  We read that little ones often because lactose intolerant for a short time after the stomach bug.  Apparently Gray realized that "no milk" = "no tummy trouble" and we haven't been able to get him to drink it since.

So it seems so odd for him to call all liquid milk when he won't touch the stuff.  He eats enough cheese, yogurt, etc to make up for it though!
