Never have I been so happy to be rejected.

My son is 2 years and 3 months. Not a big talker, though it's coming bit by bit.

Yesterday:
Me: "You want to get into the shower?"
Him: (starting to get worked up and whine/moan/cry)
Me: "What do you say?"
Him: (calms and focuses) "Papa, No." (first time!)
Me: "You got it!"

3 months later, my 2.5yo son says "Papa, no" so often that it's become a game.

"Do you want some cheese?"
"Papa, No"
"Do you want some watermelon?"
"Papa, No"
"Do you want to go for a walk?"
"Papa, No"
"Do you want to go for a ride?"
"Papa, No"

"Do you want to keep saying "No"?"
...
*2yo glares at me knowingly*

I feel odd “liking” this. Not sure if I should be congratulating you on the evolving dialogue or sad to be rejected that often when all you want to do is love him with activities and food. 🫠

Nah this is a huge evolution. Before, it used to be just screaming 😁

Way better than screaming then. 

(Although as an adult sometimes it’s what i’d rather respond with 😒)

For sure. Screaming and talking usually don't happen simultaneously so it's all about getting him talking and keeping him talking.

Soon you wont be able to get him to stop talking ☺️😅
