bag o' clouds

The other morning Elliot walked into my bedroom (I was still lying in bed) carrying the bag of cotton balls. It's the Target brand, plastic bag with blue sky and clouds on the front. He had the sweetest expression of awe on his face, and in his voice, as he said "Mom, is this made out of clouds?".
Me: No, it looks like clouds, but it's made out of cotton.
Elliot: Clouds are cotton.
I proceeded to tell him all the things that are really made out of cotton, and said clouds just look like cotton (I didn't go into the whole "tiny particles of water" explanation of clouds...yet).
Seriously, I love this age! He was so excited for a moment, thinking he had found a bag of clouds.
