The Time Has Come

No, I'm not going to make a political speech, though I could.

No, I'm concerned about matters of much greater importance than who will be our next president:

Yes, you guessed it. Ladybug has learned how to say, "no!"

Oh, sure it's cute now, she shakes her adorable cheeks, and declares in a sing-songy voice that dreaded word I was hoping to never hear.

I ask her if she wants to go to bed...."NooOoh!" Do you want to eat some more? "NooOoh!" Do you always say no? "NooOoh"

*sigh*

Here we go. Number four is starting the defiance stage, and I'm still breaking in number 3 on first time obedience. (note: haven't done that well with 1-3 yet. Will try some more)

The funniest part is when she can't make up her mind what she wants to answer. If I ask her if she wants, say, a Popsicle, then that messes up her response. She does wants one, but she's not nearly as adept at saying "yes" yet. So, she just tries to nod, and shake her head at the same time.

I suppose that if Ladybug is starting the "no" stage, that means I'm that much closer to getting out of diapers, right?

And I'll need all that extra cash if my wealth is going to be re-distributed anyway....(oops! did I get political? Sorry!)
