My son turns two this weekend. Two! In celebration of his age, he has wholeheartedly embraced the concept of "no" in the last week or so. Just in the past twenty-four hours, he has said "no" to:

* taking off his pajamas
* putting on his pajamas
* wearing a coat
* me carrying his coat
* me wearing my coat
* the very presence of a coat in the car
* eating breakfast
* eating dinner
* eating a cookie
* the fact that it was raining
* "Is your name Caleb?"
* going upstairs
* getting into the bath
* getting out of the bath
* going to bed
* having his diaper changed
* anyone leaving any room at any time
* wearing shoes that aren't orange
* being strapped into his car seat
* wearing shoes in the car
* reading any book but the truck book
* T watching a football game
* me changing my shirt
* the rabbits sleeping

The fact that saying "no" almost never actually works hasn't slowed him down in the least. Most of the time there wasn't even a question being asked, he just felt like expressing his opinion about the matter at hand. It's a phase, right? A short one?
