Yes, our little Connor can be quite demanding. As many of you know, he has always been rather less ambivalent about food than Jamie. As Connor's vocabulary has expanded, he has clearly sensed the opportunity to really get what he wants out of a meal. One day coming home from school with Sarah, she mentioned dinner and Connor began chanting, loudly, "I want chicken!!! I want sausage!!! I want oranges!!!" And the other morning, she asked him if he'd like an egg for breakfast. He nodded vigorously and then as Sarah turned her back to head for the kitchen he said, "Mommy, make TWO eggs!"
He can actually be very polite, though. Recently we had a friend over who asked him if he'd like something and he replied in his little baby voice, "Yes, ma'aaaam". Interestingly, he has sort of confused "Thank you" and "you're welcome", or, more accurately, simply decided to use the latter in all situations. So you bring him dinner and he looks up and cheerfully says "Welcome!" We understand he's saying thank you, but it does seem sometimes as though he thinks we should be thanking him for the privilege of serving him.
