Max aka Sharky-Whether To Say NO to a 11 Month Old???

November 29, 2007

So the story goes like this…Scotts dad wanted to name Scott Sharky so his mom said that they would compromise and call him it is a nick name but when they saw how cute he was..they said that he could not be a Sharky.

Well Max is Sharky.  I know this because of the looks he gives when he knows he should not be doing that such as

 1. Dropping food to the floor from his high chair

2. Pulling wires behind the computer

3. Pulling the wireless router of of the wall.

4. Pulling glasses of water off night stands.

I know these things sound very minor but the looks could kill ya. He looks at you with these big blue eyes and then smirks and then smiles and then laughs.

The big question is whether to say NO or this is not for Max and Max can play with his toys. I am leaning towards this is not for Max but things that can hurt him saying NO. But I do not want to be that MOM that sayd NO constantly because he is just exploring and that is what babies do. I am reading about a book about this stuff right now and it is complicated. I know I have always gone with my intuition but I have always felt comfortable reading books, talking to Daphne Goldberg (his Pediatrician) and then of course talking about it with Scott.

What are your thoughts on saying NO?
