A Two-Year-Old



This happened before bed last night. 

The lights were off. He was in bed. He asked for water and when the water was there he didn't want it. He made another request -he demanded a Band-Aid for the scratch on his foot and he didn't want it. 

Daddy: "ok, here's the Band-Aid."
Nathan: "我不要 Band-Aid" (I don't want Band-Aid) 
Daddy: "You said you wanted it. 
Nathan: "我不要"(I don't want it)
Daddy: "......"
Nathan cried "Mama, mama, mama..."
Mama: "What's wrong? Do you want to sleep with mama?"
Nathan: 我不要媽媽 (I don't want mama)

At last he came to bed with both of us, which rarely happens. Since he was very young, he always wanted his own space to sleep. Now he sleeps in his own room and is used to it but last night he wanted to come to our bed. 

It's very typical of a two-year-old to want something and then not want it

Imagine I'm speaking in a sweet loving voice. Just imagine it cuz you probably can't tell if you hear me in person.
