NO!

The child has learned how to say no. Do we have to teach him to speak?

I first heard it when I told Rocky NO when Rocky was on the little picnic table playing golf with the coco puffs. Gabriel then pointed sternly at Rocky and also said NO. Then he followed Rocky in to the living room pointing sternly at him but no more no. (pointing just like the lucky video)

Then when I was wrestling with him to put the thumb guard back on after lunch he said a stern NO to me.

Last night Grace tried to take a book away from Gabriel because Gabriel was ripping the pages and we heard a stern NO directed clearly at Grace.

Are you sure we have to teach him to speak? I think this was prompted by his unhappiness about the thumb guard.

Hmmmm.......................
