I Want

Zane is in that early stage of learning that you don't always get what you want.  Understandably a toddler doesn't know to focus on the good things when things don't go as he or she wants. We're working on that. I'm thankful for the opportunity to help him gain that understanding. I'm not always great at it, but I want to always show gratefulness for the things that truly matter. And like many, I want to practice more this month of Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful to hear Zane's I Wants even if I can't always oblige. Although he has many, here are a few. And yes, most requests are exclaimed. :)

I want boo! (blue)

I want pink!

I want geen! (green)

I want Ohohin! (Ovaltine)

I want ink! (drink)

I want Ba Ba Bee! (Fresh Beat Band)

I want Uppy Uppies! (Bubble Guppies)

I want It Eee Owhs! (Micky Mouse)

I want eese! (cheese)

I want wawa! (water)

I want oose! (juice)

I want oat! (outside)

I want baf! (bath)

I want ick or eat! Pease . . .  (trick or treat! Please)

I want ing. (sing)

I want ipa! (diaper)

I want bye bye! 

I want Mama!

By the way, I'm not grateful for every exclaimed requests made by Vanessa and Zane when they see a TV commercial. I think that's okay.
