I need..

Lately, Owen has been saying, "Mommy, I need ..." I kindly explain to him that he really only needs food and water (shelter and a little clothing) and he has all of that and more so he is really okay. I then ask him to say, "Mommy, I would like ...., please." Today, while holding a banana in one hand and a cracker in the other, he kept saying, "Mommy, I need a chip! Mommy, I need a chip!!" (I was eating a tortilla chip:) I kindly responded, "no you don't." He then said, "Mommy, I would like a chip!!" Without any prompting!!

I know he doesn't fully *get* it yet but I am encouraged because it is a start...small as it may be!
