Trying to discuss birthdays

I had a conversation with Samuel today that went something like this:

Me:  "So, Samuel, you're going to have a birthday soon!"
Samuel:  "Yeah!"
Me:  "Is there something you would like for your birthday?"
Samuel:  "Yeah!  Um..."
Me:  "Would you like a present?"
Samuel:  "Yeah!  I would like a present!"
Me:  "What would you like as a present?"
Samuel:  "I would like candies for my birthday.  Candies for my birthday.  I would like candies for my birthday."
Me:  "You would like candies?"
Samuel:  "Yeah."
Me:  "How about a toy?  Would you like a toy for your birthday?"
Samuel:  "Yeah!"
Me:  "What toy would you like?"
Samuel:  "Um, you have a toy.  I don't need a toy.  I have lots."
Me:  "Alright, but IF you got a toy, what would you like?"
Samuel:  long rambling monologue about something to do with Scoop (the front loader from Bob the Builder cartoons) and Bob and Larry (from Veggietales).  Possibly a picture and/or puzzle mentioned.  Maybe a toy.  I have no idea.

I guess I'm on my own for gift ideas.

Speaking of birthday parties (and we've been doing that a lot lately it seems) I had a big, exciting plan for Samuel's birthday that is now being flushed away due to toddler indecisiveness.  He used to like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, and I found a puppet show of that book being performed in a nearby city and planned a fun party around the performance.  Now he doesn't like the Very Hungry Caterpillar, and I'm back to square one.  Drat.
