I like to think I'm a positive, encouraging person who refrains from
saying no to others as much as possible.
But Titus, oh Titus, is making me utter more "no" and "don't" a day than I've ever all my life. It amazes me no end the number of things I don't want him to do. Here's just a short list:
1. Sucking on the remote control.
2. Sucking on my smartphone.
3. Attempting to crawl over the edge of the sofa or my bed.
4. Pulling his hair.
5. Pulling my hair.
6. Clawing at his ears, which are by now covered in scratches, some red and raw.
7. Clawing at my eyes.
8. Sucking on my face.
9. Pushing and twisting himself off me while I'm holding him, but screaming when I put him down.
10. Flipping around in split second during diaper change and then crawling off at lightning speed.
And he's barely six months old.
