"don't want this one."

he says this as he places three of his cars on the seat next to me. but he plays with them anyway. we gave him a couple of empty boxes to play with. lately he's been dumping his cars back and forth from shopping cart to bin to basket to cup to whatever he can hold his cars in. when he's filled something up, he comes up and proudly shows us what he's done. the extra boxes seem to make him happy, gave him more to do. dot dot was also interested in the boxes, but probably because it still smelled like food.

he's always been bossy, but now that he can express himself clearly it's gotten worse. it's really funny yet annoying at the same time. typical things he says:

"don't want mama do it, want baba do it."

"want juice in basketball cup."

"don't want this fork, want blue fork."

"want spiderman." (it's an ironman bowl)

"don't want this." (takes food he doesn't want off his plate and puts it on his tray. or sometimes when he's done playing with a toy)

"baba stand here eat peach yogurt!"

hmm... i just realized that it's almost all food related.
