My son is disgusted by my apparent reluctance to let him stick his fingers up my nose. I’m all for exploration and discovery but this crosses the line.
With the advent of mobility, the word “NO” has been making a comeback in our household. Unfortunately, Kieran just looks at me curiously when I say “no”. He doesn’t get it. And he enjoys the reaction he gets when I’m shrieking “NO! Don’t stick your hand in the VCR! NO! Don’t eat that dirt!!!” and he continues doing whatever he is doing. This is a hard stage. But his little bum-scootching-crawl is pretty cute. He’s been sleeping a little better which has been really nice. But I’m sure getting tired of giving him antibiotics. It’s a huge pain in the rear.

I completely understand! My Spencer is about 10 months old and he is starting to hear “no” as well. Mind you, his big sister is starting to hear more as well. “Kianna, stop bugging your brother. Kianna, stop pushing your brother. Kianna, leave your brother alone! Kianna, stop putting things in his mouth.” I’m with you on this one.

I have actually stop using the word NO. Liam still doesn’t seem to be catching on. Now I say, “Liam! Keep doing that and you will see what happens.” To which Liam responds, “I don’t want to see what happens.”
