The "No" Alternative

Ethan and I just had a little "chat" about him not telling me "no" when I ask him to do something. He agreed... success!
Just a couple of minutes ago I asked him to do something. He looked at me and shook his head. Shook his head. I gave him "the look" and said "Eeeeethan" you know, I had to draw out the name to give myself a little more time to figure out what I was going to do next. Kind of like when you're counting and you say "before I get to three"... "one, two, two and one eighth, etc".
He looks at me, shrugs his shoulders, arms out in front, palms up (I wish I would have snapped a picture!). "Me not SAY no, me just shake my head." Then walks away.
Lord help me. He's only three.

Happy Monday!
A

Too funny!! I stumbled upon your blog from another, and I just had a good laugh at this one. I had a rough Monday with my kiddos. Glad to hear some humor about another three year old. Hope your Tuesday is better! Blessings.

Thank you so much for sharing that video message with me! Funny thing, I couldn't sleep well thinking about the day, got up to let the dog go out(one of 5 times tonight, Ha!)I got online and saw your comment and watched the whole video. He is a great speaker, I loved it! Thanks again for passing that on. I think I may watch the whole series from your church "The Joneses"
