[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how all of these 2.5 and 3 year-olds know what to ask for?  My (almost 3) DS has never asked me for anything (other than sweets), and would have no idea what to say if I asked him what he wanted!  I'm not trying to be snarky -- I'd really love it if he could/would tell me what he wanted, I just don't know how to get him there.[/quote]

Most of the time we just judge based on interests and what we've seen them playing with before.

Our oldest used to ask for things and we'd tell him "maybe for Christmas" or "maybe for your birthday". Around 4-5 he started pinpointing things he wanted for his birthday or Christmas. I don't think he did it earlier then that. [/quote]

My 3 YO has been saying for months that he wants a little "kid table and chairs for coloring"-- we don't have room but our place is on the market, so I told him that maybe he could put that on his wish list for Santa and we'd have room for it in the new house.  He has been saying this consistently for months, so we figure we'll go with it.  It's a nice practical gift anyway.  And I would not be oppossed to buying it off of craigslist![/quote]
