J loves her “no.” And since I like a good ‘no’ myself, I am becoming accustomed to it.
J and Mama on the steps inside their apartment building
Mama: Come J, walking walking.
J: No walk.
Mama: Yes walk.
J: NO!WALK!
Mama: Yes, baby bear.
J: No Yes. [This means: there are no ‘yeses’ here.]
We had a good, though tiring weekend. Julia enjoyed seeing her little friend W and seeing the snow. We also went to brunch with a friend at a restaurant, where J poached most of the food off my plate, left her waffle to me [yes!!!] spilled water, shoved grapes into her mouth, broke crayons into small pieces and generally had a fun time.
She seemed to enjoy seeing Harriet last night. After finishing her dinner, she climbed into my chair, which I had vacated to help her. I was standing to her left to finish some rice.
J: [sweetly] Pease…mama…[bellowing] MOVE!
We had to laugh. At least she’ll say ‘please.’

Hee! Red used to break crayons into pieces. Come to think of it, she did that with a lot of things.

It’s a victory when the damage is just at our table!
