It's such a big milestone when little ones can give you their opinion. It's cute and also can be maddening! He keeps you two hopping!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Monica! He's at the stage of deciding what he wants and letting you know about it. What stage is this called? individualizing? learning about boundaries? developing autonomy? Anybody out there know? It should be a fun couple of years seeing as how he's not in the Terrible Twos yet. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWonder what happens when or if you do not know the Elmo song? I better practice up.........
ReplyDeleteI wonder what would happen if you just started singing a song you made up, maybe with a few "Sasha's" thrown in for good measure. Or what if you started singing Thriller (complete with moonwalk- I know not thriller, but still). Good job finding one he liked! It's cute that he smiles as he says no. Little pumpkin.
