Stubborn Kai

Kai is so stubborn!!! I just don't know where he gets it from! If you're not convinced, here are a couple of funny stories that should prove how stubborn he is!

1. I was taking a shower and he was outside waiting for me. Our shower has a glass door, and Kai loves to open the door to feel the water. I kept saying NO and he didn't like this one bit. Well, even if the shower door is closed, a little bit of water always splashes out at the bottom (between the door and the tile). He noticed this and started putting his finger on the water and putting it in his mouth. Of course, I told him NO! Then, he just put his entire mouth right on the tile and started licking the water off the tile that came from the shower!!!! When I told him to stop, he lifted his head and said "Mmmm!".

2. I put Kai in his car seat and placed a plastic bag with food next to him in the car. While I was driving, he kept pulling at the plastic bag. I was afraid that the contents in the bag would spill, so I told him "NO NO!". He wouldn't stop playing with it, so I finally swatted his hands away and sternly said "NO". I could then see in my rear view mirror that he was going for the bag again. Before he could even touch it, I would say "NO" and he would back his hand off. He then got really mad and started moving the paper bag up and down making it rustle. I finally had to pull the car over over, get mad at him, and then get back on the road. I was happy because I thought that he had given up and was sitting quietly, but boy was I wrong! I looked in my rear view mirror and I notice that he is quite content because he was pinching a small piece of the bag between his thumb and index finger! It was just a small little piece...nothing that should make any difference to him! But not my little Kai...he is so stubborn and he wanted to prove that he CAN touch the bag.
