Hello Everyone.
"Remember Neva," I warned, "there will be a day when Milo will be able to say 'yes' and 'no' to tell you what he wants."
Our 3 1/2-year-old daughter had just taken a toy from her 10-month-old brother and though he did not protest, we wanted to explain that someday he likely will. "In fact," I continued, "he's more likely to say 'no' before he says 'yes'."
"And he might say 'no' alot," added my husband Bob.
"And then," finished Neva, "he'll be able to say, 'No, no, no! That's mine. Mine, mine, mine! I had it first. Mine. That's mine. I don't want you to take it. I had it first and it's mine. No, no, no, no, no!'"
Um, well, yes ... someday.
Happy sweeping,
