I want

Peyton's favorite thing to say is "I want....(fill in the blank)". He's a typical, selfish toddler. ☺

A few things he wants:

  • "I want Dad." Of course.
  • "I want Grandma." Either one.
  • "I want Grandpa." Either one.
  • "I want Tyler."
  • "I want Cameron."
  • "I want Avery." Can't it ever be, "I want Mom"?
  • "I want Dora." We have Avery to thank for that.
  • "I want ce-we-oh." Cereal. He likes to eat it dry. It's his favorite snack/meal.
  • "I want botto." Bottle. Yes. I still let him have a bottle. So what. It's one of the ways I've tried to force him to remain a baby.
  • "I want side." Outside. It drives him absolutely crazy that he can't play outside in the same way as his brothers and sister. He thinks he's just as big as them and anything they can do, he can do better.
  • "I want jump." The trampoline. He loves being thrown around on it by his brothers and sister.
  • "I want sdfljasfhaweoh." Blanket. I can't quite tell what he calls his blanket. He never says it the same way twice, but there's no mistaking what he means when he wants it. If you want to see a meltdown of mythic proportions, you should see what happens when he's upset and we can't find it. It's not pretty.
  • "I want nacks." Fruit snacks.
  • "I want cacker." Cracker.
  • "I want teese." Cheese.

You get the idea. Like I said, he's a typical, selfish toddler. It's always all about him and when he wants something, he wants it RIGHT NOW OR ELSE. He gets that from me.

I love that his name for his blanket is different and unknown.

When my niece wants something, all she says is "mom" over and over again. I want is much more effective, I'm sure!

I think our kids get all of our "wonderful" traits. You know, the ones our mothers wished upon us!?

I want to hold Peyton. I wish he would let me. He used to love me oodles and oodles. Then he discovered his dad. Stupid dad. Why does he get all the lovin'? hehe!!

I wish I could have everything I wanted. A new car, a new house, a million dollars, a skinny body (I am doing Slim in 6--go me), etc. Do you think my kids could get those things for me?

I like how he says cheese, I think it's cute when they talk in little kid language.
