you point your finger at your not-quite-10-month-old and say in your sternest of stern voices, "NO! NO! NO!" when they are trying to reach into the toilet, and then they stop, look at you, point their little finger back at you and wave it as they yell, "NONONONONONO" in imitation. And it's especially bad when they laugh at you (and at their near perfect imitation) and go back to reaching into the toilet.
Not even 10 months and already sassing her mommy. Folks, this is not good I tell you. Not good at all. Tomorrow's my birthday, and Olivia has decided to give me an attitude.

Posted by: Shannon O. at February 5, 2007 11:18 PMKendall did that a couple times w/the toilet & I've started keeping the toilet seats down in both bathrooms & that seems to help. I know what you mean though, you wonder what you're up against as they get older, LOL! Happy Birthday~I hope you have a great one :) Enjoy your day :)

BTW ... last night, I received the package that you sent. AWESOME! I totally *love* everything, especially the headbands (Meredith *loves* wearing them!). And we only had one. Will send you a formal thank-you soon!
Posted by: lisanne at February 6, 2007 09:47 AMHappy Birthday Hannah!!!!
I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
It's kind of funny when they start giving us attitude....until they do it a 3rd, 4th and 5th time - then it gets kind of old :) I just can't imagine sweet innocent little Olivia being trouble for you!! Although it's usually the cutest ones that surprise us, hee hee.

Posted by: Christina at February 6, 2007 10:32 AMHappy birthday!
I don't know what it is about those toilets.
Happy Birthday!!
That's hilarious about "No." My husband was just asking this morning how we're supposed to make babies understand no...I commented that it usually doesn't work if he's laughing at the same time.
Hope you have a great day!
