Unclear on Cause and Effect

Quoting Alex:

Mommy, ice cream? OK.
Big bite ice cream.
[holding his head, crying] Mommy, boo-boo (Alex’s word for “hurts”) .
Big bite ice cream. No small bite. Big bite.
[again, holding his head, crying] Boo-boo head.

Apparently explaining an ice cream headache to a 22-month old is difficult.
