Well, Mara has finally learned to say “no.” Thankfully, she has yet to use it in a defiant manner! That will go badly for her, as Daniel says.
But she uses it freely otherwise.
“Are you ready for a nap?”
“No.”
“Mara, do you want to brush your teeth?”
“No.”
“Are you going to share your snack with Daddy?”
“No.”
Well, there you have it, dear. . . You did ask!
