#2 is finding his personality quite hilarious these days. When he is asked to do something he doesn't want to do he will often smile and say, "Um, Nnnnnooo." And it is a "no" that is like ... "oh, you are so silly for asking me to do that. Gosh you are a funny parent." Then he graduated to interrupting the parent that was in the middle of asking such silly requests with, "Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah" while shaking his head "no" from side to side. So the dialogue went a little like this ...
#2 will you ple...
...Blah, Blah, Blah.
Last night was the topper of all. In the middle of the 6:30 - all hell breaking loose trying to get dinner on the table - dance I made the mistake of asking #2 if he would like to help me set the table. He looked at me with his devilish grin and I prepared myself for, "Um, Nnnnnooo" but instead got him making a bird beak with his hand and making it silently squawk at me. Mr. Right and I (doubled over laughing) agreed that he very clearly said, "talk to the hand!" And of course, our expert parenting skills of hysterical laughter assured him that his hand gesture was appropriate and should be used often.
