It's official! We have a toddler! Wesley discovered the word "No" this week. So far, we've been lucky and he hasn't really used it in defiance, but we know that time is fast approaching.
On Wednesday Wesley spent the day with Grandma H. Grandma has a tall skinny lamp that Wesley loves to shake. He has been told no numerous times by Mommy, Grandma and Daddy. Wesley knows he isn't allowed to shake the lamp. On Wednesday, he went over to the lamp and ran his hand up and down it. He checked to see if Grandma was watching him. She was and Wesley immediately said "No". "That's right, no" replied Grandma. "No," Wesley repeated - then viciously shook the lamp.
Yesterday, Wesley was standing in front of our video shelves. We have been trying very hard to keep Wesley from pulling all the videos off the shelves. Every time we see him in that corner we tell him "No" and move him away. When I saw Wesley standing in front of the shelves, I asked him "Wesley, are you supposed to be over there?" He looked at me and said "No," before moving away! Definite progress!
There is such a thing as too much progress though. This morning I asked Wesley if we should change his diaper. It was meant as a hypothetical question, but Wesley promptly replied - "No."
