Nooooooooooooooo
I mentioned last week that JR has learned to express his displeasure with situations through the use of the word, “No.”
Well, now he has added a special move. Three special moves actually.
The first: When you try to pick him up to put him in his car seat or stroller and he doesn’t want you to, he plants his feet on the floor, bends slightly at the waist, looks at the floor, and says, “Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
The second: When you are holding him (much to his dismay), he folds himself in half as if he’s trying to hurl himself towards the floor, while grunting, “Nooooooooooooooooooo.”
The third: Once you’ve gotten him into the car seat or stroller (which he apparently views as Thrones Of Torture and Doom), he arches his back, scrunches up his face, and shrieks (you guessed it), “Noooooooooooooooooooo.”
It’s as awesome as it sounds.

When he pulls that second one, just carry him head-down for a few steps. He’ll get uncomfortable pretty quick and then he’ll get lightheaded when you hitch him back upright, which for a toddler is a total “whoa, what happened?” moment. It’s harmless but it’s worked with both of ours.
So glad I’m not the only one going through the car seat drama!
Tell him his Aunt Phanie said to shape up!
