Just a Suggestion...

"No" is merely a suggestion at this point.

The Who's been a toilet-paper unfurler in the past, so we keep it off the roll and on the back of the toilet. It's been like that for a couple of months now and today I thought, "well, maybe..." and since he was in there with me when I put it back on the roll and has been semi-decent at understanding stuff lately, I put it on and said, "this is just for Mommy and Mama. Not for The Who." And he repeated his name in that very cute way he's been doing lately and said, "no-no." He gets it, I thought to myself. "That's right," I repeated. "No-no." He smiled. I smiled.

 
No-nooooooooo

But two seconds later when I headed for the door and said, "Let's go downstairs!" I turned around and saw him...unfurling. Still smiling.

"No-no!" I said. And then: "What did Mama say?"
"No-nooooooooo!" he repeated, all happy with himself. But he kept unfurling.

Ok, Who. Lesson learned: while you might get the concept, it's still merely a suggestion. Got it.

OMG, this is such a cute story and makes me smile really big! Every kid loves the toilet paper and, as a grandma, I am glad to see Asher love it too and do all the "normal" things kids do. I'd be worried if he wasn't interested in unfurling...you take so many cute pix...how about one of him unfurling???
