He just learned to say the word "No!"....at 19 months. Surprising. (I mean, it's not like that word has been used sparingly around here.)
Also...this boy LOVES shoes.
My other boys loved shoes....but Mr. Golden Locks LIVES for shoes. He has someone's shoes on (if not his) ALL. OF. THE. TIME!
Sometimes this can be quite bothersome to me (especially when he is squealing because he can't get them on)....but sometimes I use it to my advantage.
For instance...yesterday morning.
Me: "Hey [Mr. Golden Locks], let's go get dressed."
MGL: "NO!" (loud, sharp, and to the point)
Frustration...and then....*BING*...lightbulb!
Me: "[Mr. Golden Locks], let's go get dressed and then we can put your shoes on."
You should have seen his face explode in excitement. He booked it to his room faster than I have ever seen him move before (which is sayin' a lot).
BINGO!
Every once in a while the "lights of mothering genius" do shine down on this mama. (here's another such instance...in case you're new here or missed it before.)
Just found this goodie....he's so darn cute (note the shoe).
Just one easy click!

He is so darn cute and his hair is getting SO light! I miss you and Rob and your rugrats!
How cute...hopefully this shoe obsession lasts a while so you can get the most out of this little stroke of inspiration :)
