Smokin out the "no" girl...


Lately we have been playing hide n seek around the house before going to bed. The other night, Cater was looking for dad, Selina and Kman and couldn't find them. She was starting to get a little frustrated when I said,
"Cater, you can find Selina easily, just say loudly 'Selina, time to go night, night'".
So Cater does and from under the kitchen table you hear this little voice say, "No, Cater, no night night no!"
We all laughed so hard and Selina thought she was so funny and just kept saying it over and over again!
She loves saying "no" now that she has finally learned it. It is such an empowering word to a two year old. She is funny as she will say "no" but do exactly what you want her to do anyway. The speech therapist in me isn't focused on the "no" but instead gets so excited at all the words she can string together in her statement of opposition! My little "no" girl has come so far!

Hey there! I've been reading your blog for awhile. We are in the process of adopting from Ghana and it encourages me to read your stories! I wanted to comment because I am an SLP also!! Are you still working?? Selina is beautiful. We look forward to bringing home our Ghanaian kiddos. We have our last home study meeting this Saturday!
