NO!
Sweet Peas' favorite word - sometimes - is NO! When asked to do something or go somewhere or any other request can result in a firm "no!" if the mood fits. This is very common for the toddler age but common or not - it gets really ignoring! Here is one thing that we have done with some success. Say "no" back. This goes back to Kevin Leman's book ...

Numbers Changes
Under the suggestions from many of you, I am in the process of changing the 3 Year Curriculum basic math.
