no no sun

Ada is very verbal when it comes to talking about what she does not want to do, or what she does not want done to her. We have a lot of "no no Mommy" and "no no Daddy" these days when we try to help her out. This is pretty funny to us since she says it with the strongest voice she can muster and shakes her finger at us while she is doing it.

Apparently Ada likes the reaction she is getting from us when she tells us "no no". So much so, she has started to use this command on anything that is bothering her in the slightest. Her hair gets in her face and we hear a "no no hair", her tissue is not cooperating - "no no tissue", her fairy dress isn't flowing quite right "no no pretty dress". You get the point.

Well as the days get shorter the sun has become more of an annoying factor on both our drive to day care and our drive home. During both commutes there is a section of road where the sun is shining directly into Ada's face. She first met this sudden rudeness with crying and tears, then she went the stoic route and just closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and turned her head. Well this morning it must have dawned on her that she had not tapped into her favorite discipline tactic - scolding. So today on our drive into day care today, as we hit the sunny spot, I started to hear Ada whimper a little and then all of a sudden she stopped, pointed her finger and shook it at the sun and said "NO NO SUN". And if Mother Nature knows what is good for her - she'll listen.
