Woohoo, Cairo is using all his vocabulary and growing sounds at Ma (me). He used to be so sweet when I told him "no-go" and "no-chew" and "no-bite" - he'd just accept his short (2-5min) timeout (or distracting toy if it's a 'no-go' or 'no-chew' situation) then try a couple more times before moving onto something else. Now these past two days, he's going up to things he knows he shouldn't be going near and speaking in a deep, threatening voice to them, "PEEK-A-BOO" or "UH-OH" or "HAHAHAHA". Then when I go to move him, he pins his eyes and growls or says something ominous like "CAIRO" or "NO BITE". So yep, Ma is now the uncool parent.
On one hand, I'm glad that he hasn't asked for formula these past two days; on the other, I do miss having a 95% sweetheart. I mean, he's still such a good boy - really respectful of his recall training and other tricks. And he's still very polite - just pushes your finger away gently the first few times you do something that upsets him (unless you're his Da who has a hard time reading body language, then you get slightly fewer chances).
Now he's getting a bit aggressive, vocally, about his displeasure. If he thinks you're going to do something that'll upset him, he starts warning with his words and eyes.
He's definitely growing up too fast for me! He's a nonstop chatterbox sometimes now, practicing for hours on end. He's a sassy flyer, having fun making tight u-turns and zooming around. And now we can add angsty 'teenager' to the mix, or at least, no longer a sweet baby faced ekkie
