TALK TO THE HAND

Today it appears that Liam has learned how to use his hand to push mine away when he disagrees with what I'm doing to him. It's almost as if we've had our first official disagreement. When he has cried in that past about something I've done it has felt like he was just crying at the world, at whatever discomfort he felt. When he pushes my hand away now it feels much more like direct opposition to ME and refusal to adhere to what I'm asking.

The good news is that he has an insatiable appetite and so he has never, and has never given a hint that he will, refuse a spoon full of food. Probably setting myself up here but we all seem to be on the same page here when it's feeding time.

  1. Don't forget you are his world. Maybe its time for bsl (baby sign language).

  2. Can learning the word "NO" be far away? Not what
    it means when you say it, but to show what Liam doesn't want to do!

  3. Has a Merna boy ever denied food?

  4. He NEVER denies food, he just doesn't want the food taken off of his face!
