We have entered a new stage it is the ‘no’ stage but with a twist…..my child (much like his mother) is never at a loss for words and is not sparing with his use of words…thus in true Texas form he qualifies each ‘no’ that comes from his tiny little mouth…

“NO cuddle” when I snuggle too tight in the morning

“NO la la la” when I sing and he is not interested

“NO boing” when I make his favorite noise and he is not awake enough to enjoy it

“NO run” when the dog is getting too fast when they play

“NO ish” when he is done with his snack trap of gold fish crackers and wants to relinquish them

I am going to savor and enjoy this and hope that his NOs continue to amuse me…..we all know one day they will be followed with less adorable words…UUuuuuUGGgGhhHhhHHh
