No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Welcome to my day.

They eventually get more verbal. Then you get "No, I don't want to." and "No, you can do it."

And "No, I can do it MYSELF."

This is about the only word DS will say all day long. Though I will admit it is amusing to hear him chant "no no no no no no no." as he passes out. The random Nos when no one is even talking to him or asking him anything are amusing as well.

Some of our recent variations include "Don't say that," "I don't like _______," and "I don't want to do ANYTHING."

Some days I really do love having a toddler with verbal delays.

 

[Kaimamasan]

I get "no no no no no no ME ME ME ME!", which is tiny caveman speak for "I beg your pardon, that is mine, kindly do not take it away from me".

He even waggles his finger at you when he says it. It was cute and hilarious for the first 1000 times. Now....not so much.

I get
"no!" and "wewwow" (his favorite color :rollseyes he likes to announce it every time we see it) and sometimes both together

Oh, and then from my 3 year old I get "nooooooooooooooooo" (whiney) and "I dooooooooon't wannnnnt toooooooooooo" (also whiney) and then a lot of boo-hooing, even when I'm not doing ANYTHING to her. I don't know where it comes from, you'd think I was a real ogre.

"why, mama?" "why?" "mama, why?" "why go car?" "Why go store?" "Why bath, mama?" "why, mama, why?"

DD2

She does it to poor DD1, too, who has a low tolerance for frustration to begin with. DD1 answers patiently for awhile, and then eventually she just can't take it anymore and goes NUTS

:

"What do, JooJoo?"
"I'm drawing a picture."
"Why, JooJoo?"
"Because I like to draw."
"Why?"
"Because I WANT to."
"Why?"

...

"DON'T SAY THAT TO ME ANYMORE!!!!!"

Here's DD1:

We even tell "why, mama" and "Why, JooJoo?" knock-knock jokes in our house. Trying to make light of it, see the humor in it, keeps us from abandoning the child at the firehouse or selling her to the gypsies.

LOL... I like to answer with a question. "why do you think?" "do you see what I'm drawing? Guess what it is!" or change the subject entirely "hey, remember when we went to the library last time and we saw X?"

Maybe that's mean, though...
