Flying Barrel Of Monkeys

MonkeyBoy spelled his first word today. Lately, if I’m a little exasperated with him not listening to me I not only say “No” but I spell it out. As in, “Mama said no, n-o, no.” Well, tonight we did some family shopping for boy things (i.e. Star Trek toys and beer) and then returned home. I entered the house first, and MonkeyMan was tasked with getting MonkeyBoy out of the car seat and into the house. MonkeyBoy instead ran for the driveway to look at the moon. MonkeyMan and I told him to come inside and he yelled out “N-O! N-O! N-O!” It was difficult to be mad at him, since we were both looking astonished at each other and trying not to laugh.
