I Want

I have never heard a kid use “I want” so much as Wesley. Yesterday it was all in the same sentence, “ I want hotdog, I want mac cheese, I want ban-na, I want mac cheese, I want Seet-Sa (pizza).” Then it was, “I want outside (out our backyard), I want bye-bye (go shopping), I want bye-bye”. Later, it was “See Thomas, see Caillou, see Bob, see Thomas.” Maybe it’s not the “wants” that was frustrating, but all these choices he decides to say all at once. What is it that you really want? I’m confused! He sounded like a broken record. I’ve realized he says it because he can, not because he really wants it. So, then I let him talk it all out, and then said to him, “Oh Look! It’s Lasagna!” He ate it…as he was watching Thomas.
