"No"

Oh yes, "no" is a new, major part of Emma's vocabulary. Unfortunately it is pretty cute when she uses it so it is hard not to smile. So far it really hasn't been used in utter defiance but I am sure that is coming. Last night, Emma decided that she really didn't want to sit in her seat at dinnertime although she was hungry and did want to eat. Instead, she sat on my lap while we both ate dinner. Emma did feel that it was necessary to help feed me from time to time. I guess she is looking out for mommy and Junior. I also ended up with a lot more food on my lap than usual. Wouldn't it be great to be able to get into the mind of a toddler?
