I was giving Breck a bath and, as he always has been, he likes to stand and play in the tub. No sitting. But he's also into playing pretend. So the other night in the bath, Breck wanted to fill his plastic cup with water, set it on the ledge and then stir the water (a full cup of water) with his fingers. Knowing that one these times the water will spill over the tub and on the floor (something once done he'd find amusing), I decided to hold the cup while he stirred with his hand. This is what he did:
Grabbed the cup immediately with his hand, used the other to push mine away while repeating over and over "no, no, no, move, no, move!"
Of course I had to attempt to hold the cup a dozen times to see if he'd react the same way. Each time it was the same response, "no, no, no, move, no, move!"
Cute and funny? Yes.
Scary? Indeed. 1) because he obviously learned this from me and 2) because we've entered the next phase.
Let the adventure of language and expression begin!
