A new phase
JR has always been very good when we tell him “no.” He would stop doing whatever prompted the correction, smile, shake his head back and forth, and move along.
Well, it seems things have changed.
He still stops, but rather than happily directing his attention towards something else, we get a very different response. I’ve mapped it out in easy step-by-step instructions should you care to re-enact it for your loved ones…
1. Sit on floor.
2. Place head in hands.
3. Fold body in half so hand-held face is pressed firmly on the floor.
4. Emit a brain-melting shriek.
5. Sit up quickly.
6. Thrust finger in direction of desired object.
7. Sob “Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.”
8. Repeat steps 1 through 7 when “no” is inevitably repeated.

What?…I do this at work on a regular basis…bad thing?
That’s how I react when someone tells me no. Is that inappropriate?
dis, touchdown
It gets so much funnier after the first time they fling themselves in despair to the floor, only to find that the floor, it is hard (that time’s not so funny because it hurts). The second time’s much better, with the carefully-placed hands underneath the face, then the flinging. Good luck keeping a straight face.
My personal favorite is when they notice they are not getting the appropriate reaction from you. Then they will get up off the floor, calm as can be, walk closer to you and then throw themselves back on the floor. Yay for toddlers!
I want to see this.
You mean you haven’t gotten this on video yet?!?!
