Over Christmas, little man came up with a new phrase to get our attention.  "I need."  Yes, our little man now "needs" everything.  It all began with this experience on Christmas Eve:

He needed the ball.  He really needed the ball.

Since then he has needed doughnuts, his grandpa, a drink, his cars, a bath, candy...you name it.  But the cutest demand he has made was this last Sunday when he came up to me and told me he needed a friend.  I was busy and told him his daddy could be his friend.  So little man took Daddy up to his room and they played.  Doesn't it just melt your heart?
