I can't believe it worked!

I made it out of the house yesterday. I really had no choice. We were getting dangerously low on baby wipes. You really just don't want to run out of wipes. So we went to Target. I was feeling decent so we made our way over to the toy section after I got what I needed. I wanted to look for a specific favor for Ryan's party. They didn't have what I wanted:-( While we were looking we saw some Thomas the Tank Engine toys. There was this one Duplo one that really caught Ryan's eye. He said, "Mommy, I want that one." I was a bit shocked at his consumerism. He has never asked for anything like that in the store before. Sometimes he would point or fuss, but this was a breakthrough. Not one I was looking forward to, but definitely developmental progress. I could see this turning into a 2 year old I-want-my-way tantrum. I didn't think he would understand, but I tried the old, "Maybe for your birthday." It worked. I couldn't believe it, but it worked! Then I told him his birthday is coming soon and how he is going to be 2. He giggled. Am I crazy or is my little boy really starting to understand language?! Did I just say little boy instead of baby?! Oh, he is growing up so fast.
