Followed by a "I want one!" While holding up a finger showing one. So, I figure I will get a little smart here and say, "OK, show me." Which unfailingly ends up in the kitchen, in the pantry, pointing at the treats. But then, when I ask him "What" he wants, whatever it is, it isn't there. He just keeps looking all over saying he wants one, but doesn't ever want what's there. So I don't know what 'one' is, but it must be some really cool treat for him not to settle for anything else.

At least you get that much out of him. Usually Peter will just whine at me, screaming NO, till I guess. I guess I need to stop enabling, since she'll be turning 4 soon, and should probably learn to talk!!!
What?
Just kidding, sorry bad joke. Sometimes I get that way too... I want one of something that I just can't find.
I need BJ to use small words. HE tells me what he wants and it sounds more like blsdkjlfkjdslidfj. um...okay... then I just tell him he can't have one. (then I don't have to guess what it is :)
I love Lisa's answer to the problem. What a mean mom! (just kidding) I love the stage when they are starting to be able to communicate, but there is a lot of trial and error. I understand almost everthing Aston says now but last night Dave and I couldn't figure it out. We even asked the boys to try and all of us were confused. We tried the "show us" method, but she refused and was just mad. All I can say is good luck.
