Hayden has been doing that thing where she gives me things. I take them and say, "thank you" and she smiles and hands me something else. We were in the living room playing the "Thank You" game. She handed me a block, a baby doll, and a ball. Then she reached over and grabbed a balled up sticker off the floor. She examined it for a minute and then held it out toward me.
"Can I have that?" I asked. She looked right at me.
"No", she said and held it closer.
Two things there. One, she said "no" for the first time in response to a question. And Two, she totally got the fact that if she gave me the sticker, I wouldn't give it back. I asked her again a few minutes later. Again she told me no. She held the sticker until Brian came home. Another cool thing. While she was playing with it, she figured out where she had pulled it from (a toy of hers) and she tried to stick it back exactly where it came from. Seriously, baby genius on our hands. ;)
