Today at CHOC (swallowing therapy), Lukas told Sarah that he saw George Washington on TV last night. She said, "George Who?" After a couple suggestions, Lukas agreed that he saw George Bush on TV. Lukas recognizes President Bush on TV, and even when he just hears his voice. He also recognizes Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Governor. A couple weeks ago I showed him that George Washington is on the one dollar bill, so now he gets the two Georges mixed up. He has a hard time with the concept that Washington was our first president, lived a long time ago, and is now dead.
Lukas told Sarah that George Bush is our president. Then he asked, "Do you have a president?" Sarah replied, "Yes, George Bush is my president too. He's the president of the whole country." Lukas asked, "Do you have a country too?"
BTW, Lukas can tell you our address and phone number, and which city we live in. He doesn't know what state we live in or the name of our country, but he always points out, "That's an American flag!"
