I realize this video doesn’t exactly portray my child as his usual charming self, but he’d just woken up from a nap in the car and hooboy was he in a rotten mood at the dinner table. So JB busted out the camera and we all pestered the living shit out of him, because that’s what family is for.

I enjoyed that way more than I probably should have. Theo does the multiple “No no no no no NO!” too. I guess it’s a three year old thing. Ha!

(I love his little voice)

That is my almost-three year old niece EXACTLY. Although she would have started yelling midway through.

I have one just like that at home. When he gets into one of his ‘No’ moods, I always ask him, “Is No the only word you know?” but unluckily for me he’s smart enough to not say *no* !

LOVE it. And I love how Riley is right in there. Ah, the oldest child.

OMG! Can I share that on Facebook??!!
I loved the 1)I’m NOT happy – right before JB reminds him he pooped on the toilet!! and 2) the “Not I do-unt” which appears to be a combination of didn’t and don’t.
Priceless.

Love it! :) I used to do that with my nieces – I call it poking the bear. They’d get so irate!

That is too cute. I can tell you that that defiance only gets more intense… well, at least in girls!

Nooooo! No I didn’t!!!!

Thank you for posting this video. It made my morning.

Best part of the whole video is when your husband says “say bye bye” and he just glares at the camera. Priceless!

I think he kind of liked the idea of having jumped over the roof. His eyes flickered like maybe that one wasn’t going to be a no. Filed away for a later date when no one is around I think :-)

Haha, don’t take offense, but I almost thought he was going to flip off the camera when JB said “Say bye, bye D.” Ahh, that’s what family is for. Torture and therapy 20 years later. :P

Oh – crankypants little D! That was funny. I do that to my 2.5 year old too. It makes me laugh every time.

My niece did this last year in almost the same scenario: she’d woken up from a nap in the car and her dad was calling her various pet names, such as “my little princess,” “my angel,” “my sweet pookums,” and other nonsense, and she kept denying it, getting louder and louder until she screeched at the top of her lungs, “I’M NOBODY’S NOTHING!” That is now the family catchphrase for “I’m in a bad mood, leave me alone!”

If that’s grumpy, I’ll take it. My dear 3-year-old has taken to throwing rocks and dirt when he’s feeling foul.

I would have been equally outraged to be accused of eating all my lunch. Or waffles! As IF.

(He is SO CUTE, even whilst grouchy.)

OMG, too funny! And be sure to watch it in another 10 years when he’s 13 and it will seem even more funny. :) We’ve been on a kick lately watching home movies from the toddler years with our now 9 & 13 year olds. Good stuff. :) My anxiety boy (that I commented about in response to your last post) is now seeing the humor in his constant “that’s dangerous!” and “that’s scary” and “that’s too loud!” chatter from those days.

Thank you so much. My three year old also insists, when he’s in a bad mood, that he didn’t have fun, didn’t do the things he did, etc. I think I’ve been taking it way too personally – your video helps me see that this is a three year old thing!

“No I did-nit.” Oh, it kills me! Also, if that is a “bad mood”?? You are getting off easy. My daughter would have been throwing those nuggets and going boneless from about 10 seconds in.
