“I want” seems to be the evil superpower of the four-year-old set. And Squirts has mastered the ability to wield this ability with uncanny precision and skill. He can throw that phrase like the Green Goblin lobs Pumpkin Bombs.
But have no fear, his mother and I have also mastered the only force that can defeat this wicked superpower—the power of “No!” We play Spiderman to his Green Goblin taking down his bombs with shots from our sticky spider web.
Squirts throws an “I want to stay up later!” We elude the explosion with a “No, you want to be rested for soccer tomorrow.”
