Four Things You Can Count on Hearing from RUS At Least Once Every Day

1. I'm going to have oatmeal for breakfast in the morning, OK? 
He says this when we are tucking him in to bed and trying to get him to relax. He will pull my face towards him, with a very very serious look on his face, and proceed to tell me he wants oatmeal in the morning. I have to reassure him several times that yes, he can have oatmeal in the morning, before he settles down.

2. I want to go to Grammie and Grampie's house!
We hear this throughout the day: when he first wakes up and announces what he wants to do; when we pick him up from day care (he knows the route to Grammie and Grampie's house and gets angry when we don't turn in that direction); throughout the day on the weekends, especially when we know we're going over there later in the day but not until after nap. We usually have to review the entire day's schedule: "First we're going to the grocery store. Then we're having lunch. Then we're having nap. THEN we're going to Grammie and Grampie's house!" before he will quiet down about how he wants to go to Grammie and Grampie's house RIGHT NOW!

3. I want to watch Bob the Builder!
He never wants to watch anything else. It's all Bob the Builder all the time. We only have one Bob video though so R will literally groan when she hears this, because she is SICK and TIRED of "Bob the Builder Roads and Bridges." Grammie and Grampie also have a Bob the Builder video and RUS loves to watch the trailer at the beginning which is a preview of the live Bob the Builder show that travels around. He knows how to work their Xbox controller to play that preview over, and over, and over, and over again. We have to just cut him off because otherwise he would probably watch it for hours on end.

4. I want to eat macaroni and CHEESE!
Hands down his number one favorite dish and the most requested item in our house.We don't serve it as often as he requests it but we do hear about it at least once a day.
