lol! I go through this with my James a lot lately. He'll tell me doesn't want something, say a cookie, so I'll give it to someone else, and then he has a mini-meltdown (with tears and everything)! He's a bit older than Nathaniel, so I'm hoping he'll figure out quickly to "let your yes be yes, and your no be no."
ReplyDeleteOh I hope so too! We've had a lot of these conversations lately!
