The Little word "No"

My little prince knows the word "No" quite well. It surprised me that he knew and understood the word.... 

Today he was crawling around in our bedroom while I was putting away clothes. I gave him a box of odd things to play with and usually he would be quite content to sit in a place with his box. But having learned to crawl now he wanted to explore. So he headed into the bathroom. 

"No, Not there." I said to him and he turned around to look at me. He attempted again and hearing me he turned around again this time his eyes where gleaming with a little mischief and he had the cutest two teeth smile for me. I had to repeat the words again and he decided to make a turn and come back...

A few seconds and he was attempting again...he gave me a giggle and an innocent smile but seeing I was  steadfast he returned once more. 

A few seconds later and he was attempting again... This time he was going to go for it... I repeated my "No", a little more firmly but without looking back he kept going... 

I scooped him up and we ended up playing in the bed and giggling for awhile. 

I can definitely here my Mum saying "Reminds me of someone, I know!"...

It's amazing how much a baby understands and it amazes me more that this little bundle of mine has a sense of humor (he really does!),  independence, choice, likes, dislikes and more.

Dear Mister God, this is @ina...As we teach him the meaning of the little word "No", help it to point him to his need for You, our Savior, our Friend and Lord.
