"I don't fink so"

Corbin's most common phrase these days, "I don't fink so, mommy!" We never went thru the common phase where they say "NO" to everything! I thought I got lucky this time. I can't decide if this is worse than that. It was cute at first...but now it's darned near maddening!

Please pick up your toys. "I don't fink so!"

Are you going to be a nice boy? "I don't fink so!"

Take another bite of your dinner. "I don't fink so!"

Oh, and you know how you never realize how often you say something until your kid repeats it? Tonight Jenalyn was asking him to play with her and he said, "I can't do it right now Jen-nin!" *ugh* I'd been feeling like I was putting the kids off too much for housework lately! Then when Corbin said this it was like all the times I'd said it thru the last couple weeks pummeled me! I guess I better schedule in some serious play time with the kids tomorrow, huh?

That is so cute. I can practically hear him saying that. Leslye says No a lot. We are trying to break her of her attitude. It is so hard with your baby though.

That's cute! (lol we never had NO til Lilly..I do not love it.)

It is SO hard when you here them say those things ... just know that they only have to hear things once to know them! I am sure you are the greatest mom ever! :) Plus, I know you are a fun playing Mom!!

That is so funny. Ben says "don't" way too often and I know he gets it from me. He also says "sit down" a ton. I need to try to incorporate "what a nice mommy" into my regular conversations more. See if catches on.

Bridget's response to everything was "no way!"

Corbin gets major points for putting it in a less accusing way. :)
