For a while now, Aria's been saying mama, dada, cat, but recently a new word has emerged in her vocabulary. NO. We talked about this a while ago, and we thought we were good in not saying that word. No was replaced with "please don't do that", or "please stop" or "that is not a toy". Unfortunately, no was still part of our normal speech around her, and of course she picked it up. She also picked up the perfect way of using it—one day i asked her to give me a toy she was running around with, and she politely said "no" and ran away! It was so cute, that Dana and I laughed and kept asking her to give us the toy, giving her more positive reinforcement. oh. great. She's so polite about it though, and we haven't had her get cranky and say no to everything yet. So it's all good. That will come in another year or so...
One of the first times Aria says no caught on video!
As an added bonus, here is what we are currently working on...
What sound does a kitty cat make? She almost has it.
