The I wants have started!

[Jaycee]

Just had to share with you all, DS has learnt the words "I want" and I now know the frustration many mums put up with when shopping lol

Yesterday, everything DS saw, he wanted - I want milk, I want yoghurt, I want a matchbox car, you get the picture...

So, of course I keep saying not now and everytime I'm answered with a very cheeky "I MAYBE CAN MUMMY!"

Very cute, and very frustrating at the same time.

I can't believe how quickly his vocabulary has taken off!!

Anyway, no particular point to this thread, I just wanted to share

We get need, not want.

Partner takes our toddler for a walk every day.

She came back from the walk yesterday, and announced to everyone "I'm back! I need chocolate!"

lol! I know how you feel & my DS can't even talk yet! He just points at everything (usually his dummy or the light switches) and says "dar dar". I can tell he's trying to say "I want" because when I move him away or ignore him he keeps pointing and starts crying.

Had to laugh, it will go on for another 20 years....The older they get the worse they get, especially with groceries. Instead of 'I want or I need" you get 'these might taste good for a change'.

"Want all you want" and "I want never gets" seem to be my staple phrases atm! Liebling has learnt that "I like XYZ please please please" works more than "I want" so the wanting has been cut down. I get the "need" too, which is cuter than want.

I ignore I WANT.... and then he knows.. he has to say Please mum can I have.

And here begins a lifelong 'need'

My boy is awful with his manners... very occasionally he'll say 'pwease?' when he's desperate and the other night he really wanted to watch the Wiggles and said 'toot toot Mummy? Pwease?' I melted!
