It’s become increasingly clear that The Boy is losing his vocabulary. To every question, statement, BREATH, I receive the same response. “No.” Occasionally it’s a very flat, matter-of-fact, “No.” Other times, it’s a squeel and a cry, “Noooo-waaaaaah!” Others, a screaming, full-out tantrum, throwing himself on the floor and rolling like an crocodile, “NOOOOOOOO-UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” While he may only use one word, the sentiment is made clear in his tone.
Our daily morning conversation goes something like this:
“Good morning, Boy!”
“No.”
“How did you sleep?”
“No.”
“May I have a kiss?”
“Nooooo-wah!”
“Are you ready to get up?”
“Nooooooooooooo-wah!”
“What would you like for breakfast?”
“NOOOOOOOO-UHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
“How about eggs?”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
“How about blueberry waffles and strawberries?”
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOO-UHHHHHHHHHH!…..Saying yes.”
Yes, my son says, “Saying yes.” Lest we confuse his resounding NOOOOO-UHHHHH and subsequent crocodile roll and leg flailing with, I don’t know, a non-affirmative answer. How ridiculous would that be?
Heehee! Welcome to the terrible twos! Lovely stage isnt it? lol ((HUGS)) This too shall pass.

So, I take it I’m not the only one wondering if the Terrible Twos are setting in early. “No” is my little one’s favorite word, too. Followed closely by “wiggle.” We like to mix it up a bit.

I’ve heard that word a LOT the past few weeks. This morning when I woke Carter up, he yelled “No!” in this cute little scratchy sleepy voice, stuck his thumb in his mouth, and laid back down. Then he asked for a cookie. I asked if he wanted to nurse instead and he said, “no no no! YEAH!” LOL
