Mimicry

Eden is in the "I want..." phase.  She says "I want..." in front of everything and will sometimes start the sentence with those two words and not even know how she's going to end it.  She pauses and thinks of a way to end it.  It wears me out quickly.  We are talking a lot about the meaning of contentment.


Daddy:  I want to bring a hat to the beach next year for me to wear.

Eden:  I want my hat on.

Mommy:  (mimicking Eden) I want to say "I want" in front of everything I hear.

Eden: I want everything I hear.


See?
