I'm not a parent, but I can relate. Sort of. It was a horrible, horrible day when my baby African Grey parrot learned to say "NO!" and "Stop it!". Aaaarrrrhhhhggggg!!!

Oh, boy! I don't think my son is too far behind your daughter, and I am not looking forward to this phase. You can figure out how to survive it and let me know when I get there, 'K? :-) Kind of makes you understand why so many mothers seem to develop selective hearing, doesn't it?

Yes, the "why" phase is fun, and does tend to bring on mommy's "because I said so" phase, but even more fun is when your child picks up that phase as well. Uh, that's not how it works, kid.

The last time I saw my niece, she was in the "What's That" stage. I'm getting antsy to be around babies. So i got a new kitten instead.

it's funny because i had this conversation yesterday with my friend who has a 2 1/2 year old... I said to her "just you wait until she gets to the 'why?' stage",
well I have a 4 year old and she has outgrown the 'why' stage ( well 90% out grown it anyway...I don't think they ever outgrow it fully considering my 13 and 16 year old still occasionally say it).

Just a tip - don't ever answer why when they want to know why you said no to something. Don't explain that they don't need candy because dinner is coming. Otherwise, they'll be almost 10 years old and making you account for every single no you give!

LOL I Christine, I saw the comments you left on my blog... good to know I'm not alone! We also get "No!" frequently, and the wonderful Hubs cannot understand how I can just tune it out. It's called self-preservation... duh!
