ReplyDeleteI did the same thing and stopped trying to teach him stuff. I just agreed.
Atleast he doesn't respond to everything with NO!
ReplyDeleteEven when my son meant yes he said no. Soooo frustrating.
:)
I love it. I would have given up by then too!
ReplyDeleteBwahahahaha!!!
ReplyDeleteWarning: My memory is random and slightly pointless. That having been said...
One of my earliest childhood memories is of myself, around age 2 1/2, and my cousin, age almost-2.
Me (seeing a seagull): SEEE-GUW
Him : NO! BIRRR-DEEE
Me: See-guw IS BIRDEE!
Him: NONONO
You get the idea.
I think I'm still holding a grudge over that one.
