Baby: (Scarlett,16m): says "Up-pah"Parent: After grabbing mom's red lipstick, we asked her to bring it to us, and she defiantly screamed "No,", and ran full speed across the house.... obviously opening it along the way. When we caught up with her, she dropped it and asked to be picked up once she knew was caught (red handed as it were).
Development: the Terrible two's have started and the best thing to do is try to limit the situations that can set the little ones off... Penelope Leach from BabyCenter.com has some great thoughts about the best ways to deal with with defiant toddlers--- basicallly while they know what "no" means, parents should work harder at not putting toddlers into situations (like leaving off-limit things within reach) where they will fail.
