He knows what he wants!

To get Tyler to clean up a bunch of puzzle pieces the other night, I was sweetly talking to him and trying to entice him to help me clean. So, in a soft whisper, I said in Tyler's ear, "Tyler, can you please help Mommy pick up the puzzle pieces?" He looked up at me, smiling, and then very sweetly whispered, "No."

Tyler was in the bathtub and I was sitting on the bathroom floor next to the tub. He had several cups stacked up along the tub and I was pretending to push them over the side and into the water. I would slowly start pushing a stack of cups and he would hold out his hand to stop them and smile and say, "Noooooo!" Then I would move on to another stack of cups and do the same thing. After a few more times, Tyler finally held up his and to me and said, sternly, "Mommy, stop it."

I guess Mommy's playtime was over :)
