Walker is quite opinionated. Much to everyone's surprise. :) Our favorite saying (and the one most like nails on a chalkboard) is "I no like..." and just fill in the blank. As I've posted previously, this phrase can be applied to anyone, anything, anywhere. He'll name his shirt, his pants, his cousins...you name it. He's actually started saying "I don't like..." but we like using his original wording because it's funny. I think the phrase that started it all was "I no like pants." (On one occasion, he even told me that he "didn't care for pants." The boy likes to be without pants!) On Easter morning, he told us that his shirt had "too many buttons...I don't like buttons." Yesterday Walker told me, "I don't like to wipe my bottom" (um, sorry Buddy, but that's not a choice you get to make). Today he told me "I don't like those fruit snacks...they wet." (What he meant was that they were shiny. He prefers dull fruit snacks.) And then later, just before we left for dance, Walker said, "I don't like anyfing (anything)." That is a true statement some days. Being three is hard!
Periodically, he gets mad at his trains. I'm not sure why. But he does, sometimes. We know he's particular about which trains he likes and he's very specific about wanting to play with trains that are "happy." Maybe he doesn't like the face on a certain train that day...who knows. Whatever the reason, he will sometimes put his trains behind closed doors. And he makes sure that the trains stay behind closed doors. The pantry is one of his favorite places to put them.
And this morning, Walker was mad that I wasn't playing choo-choo trains with him so he covered his track with pillows and said, "I don't WANT to play choo-choos." Well, okay. What a funny little boy he is. Very particular, very opinionated, and might have a touch of toddler OCD. ;)
