Parents, be careful what you ask for!
I think one of the things that I have really been looking forward to with Cannon was when he would be able to communicate well enough to tell me what he wants/needs. He has been progressing with his sign language which has really been helpful. He also is communicating much better verbally, as well. The kid said "aa-pool" for apple this morning! Sorry, I digress...
For months, Cannon has had no concept of the word, "No". Well, he has actually associated it with playing because of a little game that Brett started MANY months ago. Since he thought, "NO" meant to keep doing whatever he was doing (because of Dad's game) , I began to use the word "stop". It also fell on deaf ears! Regardless, I continued to say, "NoNoNoNo" and "stop" hoping one day my little boy would listen!
Alas, he did! BUT, he listened just long enough to learn how to say it AND shake his head no at the same time! So now, whenever I do anything he does not like or does not want me to do, he shakes his head NO and says, "NoNoNoNo".
Interstingly enough, he still has "deaf" ears when Mom says, "NoNoNoNo".
Be careful what you wish for...

Hahahaha! Rylee is doing the same thing. However she isn't shaking her head she is signing and saying "NO. NO. NO." and sometimes when I'm talking she tells me to "hush" (she learned that from telling the dog to hush when he's barking). So far Parker is a good boy...however he does have the deaf ears problem!
haha, i think it is great that she tells you to hush! ha!
