no thank you

I wouldn't say he's disobedient. But he has grown to where he has definite opinions about what he does and does not want to do. He has learned to say no. But he does it so politely that it just takes my breath away, even though he's refusing to do what I ask! For example: "Dennis, I need to change your diaper". He replies "no thank you". "Dennis, it's bed time" to which he says "no thank you". He's adamant, but very very polite. It kind of takes the sting out of him not doing what he needs to do. He's even cute when he's disobeying. What a kid!

His Gigi noticed him hovering around in the kitchen in a squat pose, performing a Michael Jackson-esque crotch grab maneuver, and she asked him if he needed to go potty. He never really replied but headed in the direction of the bathroom. I am delighted to report that he has now successfully gone to the potty in a big toilet! I'm so proud. But when I asked him if he needed to potty after supper, he told me (you guessed it) "no thank you".
