To The Limit

Ian is enjoying the concept of the word "no" and using it to test his limits with Chris and I.

I am pretty sure that we heard "no," including a scrunched up and stern face, from Ian about twenty millions times today.

~~~~~
"Ian do you want to take a nap?"

"No."

"But you're tired and need a nap to get energy to play."

"NO."

"I'm sorry.  It is too bad that you don't want to because it is nap time."

"NOOOOOO!" [Insert tears and screaming here.]
~~~~~

"Look Ian, what a yummy dinner!  Please try a bite of the turkey."

"No. Yucky!"

"You haven't even tried it, how do you know it's yucky?"

"Yucky."

"Please take one bite."

"No. All done." [insert shoving plate across table in protest.]

I suppose at least you can say he is persistent.  Stubborn, but persistent.
