With the onset of warmer weather, I rearranged and reorganized Simon's dresser drawers, much to his confusion. I still make "outfit packets" for him, where I fold together sets of shirts and pants that match, to make mornings easier. With the change in weather, I made one drawer with T-shirts and pants, and another drawer with T-shirts and shorts. Simon couldn't tell the difference and one morning was very sad because he couldn't find any pants and I found his room strewn with long sleeve shirts. Something had to be done.
So while he took a shower, I labelled one drawer "pants" and another drawer "shorts." As I explained the labeling to Simon, he still seemed confused. Then it became clear that he wanted me to make the labels more accurate. I had to add "T-shirts" to each label. And I had to label all the drawers.
But even that wasn't sufficient. The next morning, I noticed he'd added the word "long" to the pants label.
