Brody Bear

So today Brody asked me and "the boys"  to stop calling him special names. When I asked him what names knowing it was the nicknames we had for him. He then told me "Brody bear" and "bobo head". I asked him why and his only answer was cause. 

He doesn't like attention  at all lately. If you tell him his clothes are cool. He then doesn't want to wear them. If you tell him a toy is cool he wants to give it away. Nothing is cool fun or neat unless he says it first. 

He doesn't even let me pick his clothes out anymore. He's dressed before I get to his drawers and he only wants to wear what he wants to wear.  He is becoming so independent and so different. It's crazy cause he's 5 and my 10 yr old would wear underwear to school of I didn't get his clothes for him.  

I don't know what to do with this crazy kid and his wanting to do everything himself. 

He can dress himself that's fine, but I'm still calling Brody Bear.
