That!

Joey's still working on using his words and he gets very frustrated when we try to force his hand sometimes. Friday evening was met with the usual greeting I get from Joey when I walk in the door. "Daddy!" he yells as he runs to give me a 'hug' in the same manner that linebackers 'hug' quarterbacks.

I picked Joey up and he immediately started pointed at one of the following objects and started yelling "Mine!" The list of objects includes:

Misc. Hot Wheels cars
Mommy's keys
A sippy cup

Not knowing what he was referring to when he said "Mine" I used this as an opportunity to make him tell me what it was that he wanted.

"Joey, I don't know what it is that you want. Can you tell me?"

He pointed in the direction of all three options and said "That!"
