The Cascade of "No"

Finn now has a default response to any question that we ask him. "No." You name it, the answer is no. Even if it is something he will want, like milk, the knee-jerk is no until he SEES the cup in your hand, then he gladly takes the milk. Apparently whatever your parents say must clearly be wrong and unimportant, but I thought he wouldn't start that until he was maybe 7, or 13. We need to stop phrasing things as questions.

As Katie just reminded me, another favorite word is "people." At Target, Katie asked Finn who all the clothes are for: "People." If he sees something he wants, but it is not for Finn, it is instead for "People." A bus goes by: "People." One of his favorite books recently: In a "People" House. He really says it a lot.

We haven't played many video game once since Finn was born, but Finn found our copy of Katamari Damacy for the PS2, and we put it on for him. He liked pushing all the buttons and making things happen on the screen.

No word yet on baby boy #2. We'll keep you posted. During the event, updates will on Katie's twitter feed. We are now officially past the due date! I think that Katie must have a cozy womb.
