No. No, no. No.

Right on cue, Julia hit 18 months at just about the same time that she started to master the use of the "no." Wanna see? Just ask her something. Try, "Do you want some turkey?" Or maybe, "Is your diaper ready to be changed?" Or, "Can you leave Kitty alone?" Or, "Can I put a blanket on you?" Even before you've finished inflecting that last word, her big blue eyes will snap up and she'll say, carefully and invariably, "No. No, no. No." and wag her head back and forth. End of discussion.

Someday - tomorrow? Christmas? President's Day? - this will get old, but right now it's hilarious and charming.

Long time listener, first time caller.

It was great running into you yesterday and getting the chance to meet this sweet little girl. Damn she's cute. I don't know how you guys stand it!! All she did was wave at me and smile and I still get goose bumps remembering it!! I mean seriously, how are you going to possibly stand your ground with such a charasmatic child in your life! I'd be screwed. She'd take one look at me and I'd be like "Would you like a pony?? Mommy will go get you a pony, right now!".

I'm so glad I got to meet her!!
