Just Will; The evolving consciousness

For Will's first three years he would not allow anyone to call him ANYTHING but Will. If anyone, including a stranger, called him boy, son, brother, tiger, sport, kiddo, or anything else his immediate response was, "No! Not ____, just Will."

The last year he became aware of himself as a boy, a son, and a brother. He also occasionally became a bear, ninja turtle, dog, cat, power ranger, money, or dinosaur. Instead of Will, he began to refer to himself as "me". Unfortunately, as in all things Will does, he took it a little overboard. Occasionally, a 'will' or 'i' will come out, but mostly it's only 'me'.

"Me hungry."
"Me want a toy."
"Me went to school."

And lastly, over the last few months, 'i' has began to make an appearance.

Nothing earth shattering, just interesting to watch Just Will grow.
