NO, said Gustav.

Some kind of switch was flipped last night.

Gus woke up loving the word NO.

"It's time to get dressed."

NO.

"Let's put your coat on."

NO.

"It's time to go get in the car."

NO.

I love it.
You can just see his brain making all of these connections. Gus is exercising decision-making in it's rawest form... Yes, I will or NO, I won't. Obviously there are many things we ask of him that are required, so the secret seems to be to get him to feel like he's decided to do something.

Yesterday we went to see Granny, whom Gus calls "Nanny."

We tried to play at a playground, but it was freezing, so it didn't last long.
