Yah Yah!

As I mentioned here, we try to use the word "no" sparingly and really mean it when we say it. An example of an approriate time to use "no" for us would be if Baby J...

• eats things she's pulled out of the trash
• licks an electric socket
• starts a heroin habit

So generally, we don't say "no" very much. I'm happy to report that this positivity seems to be wearing off on our baby. Recently she's started saying "yah." When asked a question like, "Do you want some Cheerios?" she invariably answers, "yah!" If she really means it, she'll say "yah yah." It's like "no" is not even a part of her vocabulary yet. And when asked if I'm happy about that, I say, "hell yah!"
