The introduction of "REALLY"...

So Johnathan used to always say "I want this..." or "I want that..." But now, as of last week or so when my Dad and Teresa were here visiting, he started saying, "I REALLLLLY want a cookie." Or "I Reallllllly want to play that game". It's like a huge bit of emphasis has been added.
It tugs on the parent's heart-strings. : ) hee hee. It's pretty funny, and cute.
